Adverb Test: Assess Your English Grammar Knowledge

The adverb test consists of 20 questions, each with four multiple-choice answers. Read each question carefully and choose the correct answer from the choices. At the end, you can see your results and score.

Before starting, learn a brief knowledge about adverbs:

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or sometimes an entire clauses. For example, in “She speaks clearly,” the word clearly describes how she speaks. In “The water is extremely cold,” extremely modifies the adjective cold.

Important types of adverbs:

• Adverbs of manner describe how an action happens. Example: She answered politely.

• Adverbs of time tell us when something happens. Example: We arrived yesterday.

• Adverbs of place indicate where an action happens. Example: Please sit here.

• Adverbs of frequency describe how often something happens. Example: He usually walks to work.

• Adverbs of degree express the intensity or extent of something. Example: The test was quite difficult.

Adverbs usually end with -ly if they are formed from adjectives. Their placement depends on the type of adverb and the sentence structure. See the examples above. 

This adverb quiz assesses whether you correctly understand what an adverb is, its types, and how we use them in sentences.
