Adverb Test 5

The given sentence needs to be filled with an adverb of time. An adverb of time tells us when the action happens, i.e. the time. Thus ‘yesterday’ is the apt answer. Hence option B is correct. Whereas ‘daily’ is an adverb of frequency, it tells us how often the action takes place, i.e. the rate of occurrence. So option A is incorrect. Similarly ‘happily’ cannot be used, because it is an adverb of frequency. It highlights the way people do things. Hence option C is incorrect. ‘Outside’ is an adverb of place. It explains where the action happens or where someone is going and is not used to indicate the time at which the action happened. Therefore option D is incorrect. 

While framing any sentence, the basic rule is - Subject + verb + object (if any). 'He' is the subject and 'happy' is the verb, 'Always' is the adverb of frequency which expresses how often something is done. The rule says that if a sentence has one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. Thus, according to the rule, the correct sentence is option A. Rest of the options are the incorrect ones per rule. 

The given sentence needs to be filled with an adverb of place. An adverb of place will tell you where the action happens or where someone is going. Thus ‘at home’ is the apt answer. Hence option B is correct. Whereas ‘at morning’ is an adverb of time, which tells us when the action happened, i.e. the time. So option A is incorrect. Similarly ‘thrice’ cannot be used, because it is an adverb of frequency. It indicates how often the action takes place, i.e. the rate of occurrence. Hence option C is incorrect. ‘Carefully’ is an adverb of manner. It explains the way people do things and is not used to indicate a place. Therefore option D is incorrect. 

The given sentence needs to be filled with an adverb of frequency. An adverb of frequency tells us how often the action takes place, i.e. the rate of occurrence. Thus ‘twice a week’ is the apt answer. Hence option C is correct. Whereas ‘tomorrow’ is an adverb of time, which tells us when the action happened, i.e. the time. So option A is incorrect. Similarly ‘nearby’ cannot be used, because it is an adverb of place. It indicates where the action happens or where someone is going. Hence option B is incorrect. ‘Slowly’ is an adverb of manner. It explains the way people do things and is not used to indicate the frequency of the action. Therefore option D is incorrect. 

The adverb in the given sentence is ‘skilfully’. It is an adverb of manner that explains the way people do things. Therefore option A is correct. Whereas an adverb of time will tell you when the action happened, like ‘tomorrow’ or ‘next year’. An adverb of frequency tells us how often the action takes place, like ‘regularly’ or ‘twice’. While an adverb of degree explains the intensity of the action, like ‘extremely’ or ‘scarcely’. Since the given adverb explains how, i.e. the manner in which the person plays the saxophone, options B, C, and D are incorrect.  

An adverb is a word that is used to change, modify or qualify several types of words including an adjective, verb or an adverb. E.g. He drives carefully. In this, carefully is an adverb which modifies a verb 'drives'. Thus, option D is the correct answer. 

An adverb is a word that modifies/describes the meaning of a verb, adjective or another adverb. The verb used in the given sentence is 'was satisfied'.  This verb is being modified by the word 'hardly', which means 'scarcely'. In other words, it means 'to an insignificant degree'. Hence, it is an adverb. As this word describes how or in 'what manner' the subject 'I' was satisfied,  it is called an adverb of manner. Hence, option B is correct.

The adverb, 'fairly' means 'to some extent but not very'.  It means the same as 'reasonably'. Hence, option D is correct.

The adverb, 'rarely' means 'not often' or 'seldom'.  The opposite of the word should mean 'often'. The word, 'frequently' means 'often'. Option C is the correct answer. 

The adverb, 'wholly' means 'completely' or 'fully'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
