Question

Her coach had a very nervous expression on his face. Read each sentence. Underline each adverb. On the line(s) provided, write whether each adverb modifies adverb l, an adjective, or another adverb.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Among the many things adverbs may express we have intensity, frequency, place, time, etc.

In the sentence "Her coach had a very nervous expression on his face," the adverb is "very". In this sentence, "very" is modifying an adjective, "nervous". The purpose of using "very" is to intensify the meaning of the adjective. The coach was not simply nervous, he was very nervous.
