Hey there, in this lesson, I am going to teach you
all about adverbs.
You will learn what is an adverb,
what are the different types of adverbs and
how to use adverbs correctly.
We will focus on avoiding common mistakes in two areas
comparative and superlative forms and then
the very important topic, putting adverbs in the correct
position in a sentence. So let’s start.
Before we begin, as always,
if you have any questions at all,
just let me know in the comments section below,
and I will talk to you there.
Alright, so to start, let me ask you a question
what is an adverb? Some people say adverbs
are like adjectives - you know adjectives
(words like good, bad, beautiful, tall, short etc.)
they give information about nouns.
So people say adverbs give information about verbs.
Well, that’s only half-correct.
Because adverbs are very talented words
they can give us information about verbs
but they can also give us information about adjectives,
other adverbs and even about whole sentences.
Now adverbs are all around us - words like slowly,
unfortunately, very, enough, tomorrow, however, always
and so on and so forth.
I’m sure you use adverbs all the time.
But why do we use them?
Well we use adverbs because they answer some
important questions about our sentences
questions like when, where, how, how much, how often etc.
Take a look at these examples: in number one,
‘He ate the sandwich quickly’ - ‘quickly’ is the adverb
it gives information about the verb ‘ate’
how did he eat the sandwich? He ate it quickly.
In number two, how beautiful is Tami in that dress?
She is really beautiful (it means very beautiful).
So the adverb ‘really’ modifies the adjective ‘beautiful’
that means it gives information about the adjective.
In number three, we have an adverb of place.
Can you identify it? It’s the word ‘here’ which
gives us the answer to the question ‘where’.
In number four, we have an adverb of time - which is it?
It’s ‘yesterday’ and it tells us when.
And in number five, can you identify the adverb?
The adverb is the word ‘sometimes’ which answers
the question ‘How often’ - How often do I drink coffee?
Every morning? No, only sometimes.
So here you see all the different things
that adverbs can do. And based on these functions
(or the different jobs that they do),
adverbs are divided into five common types.
Let’s talk about that.
OK, adverbs are usually classified as adverbs of manner,
degree, place, time and frequency. Adverbs of manner
tell us how (that is, in what way an action happens).
Adverbs of degreetell us how much (very good,
really strong and so on). Adverbs of placeand time
tell us where and when. Adverbs of frequency tell us
how often (always, never, sometimes and etc.).
Now there are also many other types such as adverbs
of opinion - ‘fortunately’, ‘personally’, ‘sadly’ etc.
these help us to express our point of view,
and there are also connecting or linking adverbs like
‘moreover’, ‘however’, ‘on the other hand’, ‘therefore’ etc.
But the most important adverbs for us
are the five that we discussed.
OK, at this point, I want to give you
an important tip about words that end with ‘ly’
When you say adverb, people generally think of words like
slowly, quickly, happily, sadly, quietly, loudly and so on.
So it’s easy to think that all adverbs end with ‘ly’.
But this is not true. In this chart,
you can see many examples of adverbs that have this ending.
Also, there are many adjectives that end with ‘ly’
words like friendly (like She’s a friendly person) or
lovely (what a lovely bouquet - that’s a bunch of flowers)
these are adjectives, not adverbs. So remember:
many adverbs don’t end with ‘ly’ and some words
that end with ‘ly’ can be adjectives.
So, now, before we go any further, I want to give you
a quick test and check if
you can identify adverbs correctly.
A clarification: in the chart at 10:05, the comparative form of *far* should be *farther.* It says -father,- which is a typo (mistake made when typing).
Sir, I recently follow your tutorials, your way of teaching is very good. great love and respect from Pakistan.
Sir kiya ap mujee koiee website batyene gy jidr practice kr sakey ....plzzz
I need practice
Thanks Ganesh, very cool!
How may I use the Adverb Mere? However, I am aware of the correct use of merely even though Please consider me I don't know anything about it.
Is teacher thanks teacher
As a native English speaker who has always done very well on verbal and written exams, this is by far the best description of adverbs I've ever heard! I have understood them intuitively as a native speaker, but this video has helped clarify a lot of confusion I've always had with adverbs, so I'm excited to check out your other videos. For me, this video is like learning the hidden (but clear) rules of music theory in the songs I know by heart - thank you!
I never had a teacher like you, when I was in school, otherwise I got 100 marks in English. Thank you Sir your way of presentation is marvelous.

Not sure, how I ever passed any English classes, love his teaching style, complex issues are handled on a mastery level, but explained that even elementary level can learn and understand. Where have you been all my life.
How can someone dislike his lessons? Hello teacher. All of your videos are very helpful and well made. Thank you for your effort and keep up the good work!
Sir, you have such an excellence of mind .👍
English teachers should follow your videos. You truly are out of the world! Thanks a mil :-)
Thank u so much Ganesh sir for ur help n guidance..Ur vdos really help me during my exams when I have doubts..Thanks a ton!
I am so glad that I got all the adverb positions right. Thank you so much for explaining it so nicely.
You are the best online English teacher.. You keep it very simple and thus easy to understand for a person like me. I have learned something from this video today but not completely.. Hope to master it someday. Have I used the adverbs correctly? Please let me know of any errors.
This is the first time,I commented.He is excellent in teaching.Even if he posts 10 mins of data, there will be a lot of content in it.
I've learned new knowledge today that I never learned in School. Thanks a lot sir for being a blessing to all
Oi, gostei bastante da sua aula. Muito bom mesmo! Me senti estudando num livro de gramática! * Hi, I've liked a lot your class. It's really really good! I just felt like I was reading and studying a Grammar book!
Are you from Brazil
You explained this better than my teacher, this helped me with the SAT preparation!
Me too 😊😊
Me toooooooo 🙂🙂
I loved your way of explaining, and you touch on topics that aren't mentioned in a lot of curricula. Thank you for your effort.
thank you very much for such a clear definition of all the parts of speech
Beyond all the questions,you are one of the excellent English trainers. I am very fortunate to have got a trainer like you.
Great lesson - thank you
Also the classification of adverbs are great to understand.. I really wasn't able to figure out which is adverb and which are adjectives.. Now I can talk about adverbs a little as mentioned in my previous comments I will get it completely someday.I will practice it regularly.. Thank you so much Ganesh for helping people like me.
M preparing 4 competitive exams
Ur vdo helps me alot 2 understand d concepts
God bless u
I really like the way you teaching, please do more video on how to solve fill in the blanks in PTE.
Thanks for making these great videos. I have a following question:
Instead of saying
Jeremy carefully placed the candles on the cake.
is it okay to say
Jeremy placed the candles carefully on the cake.
Both sounds okay to me and so not sure which one is correct or more commonly used.
I think the latter one is used a little bit more frequently but they all totally make sense. Adverbs can be located in diverse places in a sentence
In my opinion..one of the best teacher in the world
your videos give the whole knowledge about the subject. These are really helpful to me.
Thanks Teacher Lab for Every Thing
your teaching is very good teacher

hi... i´m a Beginner english student, and i just wanna say to you that i've been seeing alot of videos for a long time, but no one teach like you. when i found your channel and i saw the first video, i got subscribed immediately.... all your videos are helping me so much. i don't even know if i wrote it correctly hahahaha anyway! i just had want to practice telling you what i think about thanks!!!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm very happy to know that the lessons are useful for you. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions :)
Doing great job.... I never listened this type of classes before.. Exactly u taught what beginner's think where they confused regarding adverbs..
*Irwin* you are doing very well there, for a beginner! You can compare what you wrote to how I (a native speaker) would write it:
*Hi.* *I'm* a *beginning* *English* student, and I just *want to* say to you that *I've* been *watching* a lot of videos for a long time, but no one *teaches* like you. When I found your channel, and I saw the first video, I *subscribed* immediately! All your videos are helping me so much! I don't even know if *I'm writing this* correctly... hahaha! *Anyway,* I just *wanted to* practice *by* telling you what *I* think about *your lessons.* Thanks!!!
Most of your mistakes are very minor. My advice is to never neglect practicing correct English! All practice helps. Practicing things you know are wrong builds bad habits. Do not use your mobile phone as an excuse to be lazy, either. Always follow capitalization rules, such as capitalize "I" and the first word of each sentence. The apostrophe is (') not (`). Slang words like "wanna" are okay to use, as long as you have mastered the words they replace.
I did understood everything you were saying, until the last sentence. I had to think about that one a bit. Remember to always describe what you are thinking about when you use the verb form "think about."
Could you please create a slide which shows the order in which one should study using your videos? I mean, first study parts of speech then tenses then punctuation, etc. That would be very helpful. Look forward to hearing from you.
Up to now I have not been making the lessons in any particular order because I make videos in response to requests that I get from viewers. But you could start with 1. parts of speech basics, 2. tenses, 3. modal verbs, 4. prepositions, 5. articles, 6. relative clauses, 7. infinitives vs. gerunds (to vs -ing), 8. subject-verb agreement
Excellent Teacher!

Thanks for the Video, There is small typo in the video at 10:30, the comparative of far should be farther.
I never noticed that. Thank you for pointing it out, Abhi :)
@@LearnEnglishLab yes should be farther in place of father
Is there any rule about adverb order in a sentence?
For example: At my apartment, last night, a friend of mine spoke loudly around midnight.
A friend of mine spoke loudly around midnight at my apartment last night.
(OR) Last night a friend of mine, spoke loudly midnight at my apartment.
