An adverb is a word... (That's all it is, and there's a
lot of 'em!) That modifies a verb... (Sometimes a verb!
Sometimes...) It modifies an adjective, Or else another
adverb. And so you see that it's positively, very, very,
necessary.

Suppose your house needs painting. How are you going to
paint it? That's where the adverb comes in. We can also
give you a special intensifier so you can paint it very
neatly or rather sloppily.) (Hi. Suppose you're going nut-
gathering. Your buddy wants to know where and when. Use an
adverb and tell him.)

Get your adverb...

Use it with an adjective, it says much more. Anything
described can be described some more. Anything you'd ever
need is in the store, And so you choose very carefully
Every word you use.

Use it with a verb it tells us how you did. Where it
happened, where you're going, where you've been. Use it
with another adverb at the end, and even more... How,
where, or when, condition or reason... These questions are
answered When you use an adverb...
