Welcome to this tutorial today.

00:03.330 --> 00:10.730
We're going to talk about adverbs of manner let's get started.

00:10.740 --> 00:21.300
Remember that an adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other adverbs.

00:21.360 --> 00:32.410
Note that the usually modify verbs telling us how how often when or where something was done it's in

00:32.440 --> 00:34.840
the example over here.

00:35.120 --> 00:46.030
We walked really slowly the adverbs slowly modifies the verb walked and it tells us how we walked

00:50.100 --> 00:55.870
know an adverb of manner tells us how something happens.

00:56.250 --> 00:59.000
Have a look at the example below.

00:59.130 --> 01:10.500
I carefully read the note left on the counter now the adverb of manner carefully modifies the verb read

01:11.100 --> 01:21.020
and it tells us how we read also note that adverbs of manner are usually placed either before the main

01:21.020 --> 01:24.670
verb or after the object.

01:24.710 --> 01:27.620
Have a look at the examples below.

01:27.650 --> 01:31.200
Tom quickly left the building.

01:31.280 --> 01:42.540
Now the adverb of manner quickly modifies the main verb left and it comes before it and in the sentence.

01:42.620 --> 01:54.050
Tom left the building quickly again the adverb of manner quickly modifies the main verb left but it

01:54.050 --> 01:57.060
comes after the object.

01:57.050 --> 02:01.900
Building.

02:02.000 --> 02:12.150
Note that such adverbs as well badly hard says are always placed after the verb.

02:12.250 --> 02:18.740
Have a look at the examples below Ali's hard work.

02:18.780 --> 02:30.450
This sentence is incorrect because the adverb is placed before the verb the correct form would be.

02:30.510 --> 02:32.820
Alice worked hard

02:36.220 --> 02:42.460
and when there is more than one verb in a clause the position of the adverb is very important.

02:43.240 --> 02:46.650
Let's have a look at the examples below.

02:46.660 --> 02:50.590
Samuel slowly decided to leave the party.

02:50.950 --> 02:58.550
Now in this sentence the adverb slowly modifies the verb decided not lead.

03:00.290 --> 03:10.770
And in the sentence Samuel decided to leave the party slowly the adverb slowly describes or modifies

03:10.770 --> 03:19.680
the clause to leave the party not decided.

03:19.690 --> 03:26.180
Now some writers put an adverb of manner at the beginning of the sentence.

03:26.200 --> 03:30.090
This is only to catch the reader's attention.

03:30.210 --> 03:34.600
Have a look at the example below confidently.

03:34.600 --> 03:36.140
She entered the room.
