Adverbs come from adjectives (describing words). Adverbs tell us about verbs.

They describe how something happens.

For example: The boy shouted loudly. I slept soundly in my hammock.

Adverbs that answer the question "how?" usually end in 'ly'. But not all of them!

For example:

"How did he run?" "He ran slowly." or "He ran fast."
