ADVERBS:

We use adverbs to make a text more interesting. We can use them to:
- Comment on what we are saying (comment adverbs)
- Quantify something (degree adverbs)
- Describe the way in which something is done (manner adverbs)


1. Comment adverbs appear at the beginning of a sentence (amazingly, luckily,...)
    ex: Unfortunately, they didn't have any rooms.


2. Degree adverbs appear before the adjective or adverb they are modifying (really, very, extremely, ...)
   ex: This book is really interesting.


3. Manner adverbs appear at the end of a sentence (quickly, patiently, desperately, ...)
   ex: They sent me some money quickly.
