副词(adverb)修饰动词、形容词和其他副词等,说明时间、地点、程度、方式等概念.如:often往往,here这里,very很,quickly很快地.
一般来说：
1.修饰动词的词语就是副词,如beat it heavily中的“heavily”就是副词,修饰“beat”,狠狠地打击.
2.还有的副词是修饰形容词的,常常表示程度.如extremely beautiful中的“extremely”修饰形容词“beautiful”,极其漂亮的
3.还有的副词本身就是修饰副词,和修饰形容词类似.
4.较特殊情况的副词可以放在句首,表一种伴随状态,
如“Fortunately,I managed it in time"中的fortunately.幸运的,我最后及时的完成了（那件事情）
