What does ADV mean in LANGUAGE & LITERATURE

An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or a phrase or clause. Adverbs can change the meaning of sentences, often adding emphasis on how something is done. For example, in the sentence “He quickly ran away”, “quickly” is an adverb that describes how he ran.

Questions that ask for information about how something is done are best answered with an adverb. How questions such as "How did she sing?" and "How clean was it?" should be answered by using adverbs such as "Energetically" and "Immaculately". Additionally, questions about manner or degree such as “To what extent was the job complete” and “How soon will it arrive" should be answered using an appropriate adverb.

When using an adverb in a sentence it should always be placed so that it modifies a verb or adjective correctly to convey the desired meaning. The placement of the adverb will determine what part of speech it modifies; if it appears before the verb or adjective then it modifies whatever comes immediately after it. For example; “He slowly opened the door” – Here “slowly” is placed before the verb (opened) so this word is modified by the adverb. The same would apply if you wanted to modify an adjective e.g. The book was extremely interesting.

Generally speaking no; It's possible to place them anywhere in a sentence depending on your desired meaning and effect although some English language experts feel that for maximum clarity they should be placed either directly before or after verbs and adjectives which they modify rather than elsewhere within a sentence.

There are three main categories of Adverbs - Manner (describe how something happens), Place (describe where something happens), Time (describe when something happens). Within each category there are many different sub-types including those formed from nouns/adjectives e.g gradually/locally etc., intensity words e.g almost/comparative forms e.g more/less and others such as conditionals e.g unless/if.

Examples of Adverbs include words like quickly, slowly, loudly, softly, extraordinarily etc., most of which provide information about manner but can also provide information about time (e.g soon), place (e.g nearby) or other related concepts (e.g almost).

Yes they can - but they do have slightly different functions so the effect might not be quite the same as if you had used only adjectives instead! While adjectives describe specific qualities/attributes associated with nouns and pronouns - i.e colour size quantity etc., Adverbs provide information related to manner (how), Place (where) & Time(when)

Yes - provided that both serve distinct purposes and don't cancel each other out functionally you can use two Adverbs together within your sentences! It's important though that one doesn't overshadow or weaken its partner- for example 'quickly unintentionally' doesn't really make much sense since unintentional implies lack of speed!
