How adverbs are used - Easy Learning Grammar French

  • In general, adverbs are used together with:
  • verbs (act quickly, speak strangely, smile cheerfully)
  • adjectives (rather ill, a lot better, deeply sorry)
  • other adverbs (really fast, too quickly, very well)
  • Adverbs can also relate to the whole sentence; they often tell you what the speaker is thinking or feeling.
