Today we are going to learn about Adverbs.
Adverbs add extra information to verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, giving us more details about how, when, where, or to what extent things happen.
For example, He ate the ice cream quickly. Or She went to school happily.
Here quickly and happily are adverbs.
They provide additional information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action or state occurs.
They help to find the meaning of a sentence by answering questions like "how?" or "when?"
Example: She finished her homework quickly,

The answer is quickly.
