Adverbs are words that make your sentences more lively and detailed. They tell you how something happens (e.g., “She walks slowly”), when it happens (e.g., “I’ll call you later”), or where it happens (e.g., “The kids are playing outside”). Learning adverbs is a simple way to improve your English and sound more natural. For example, instead of saying, “He runs,” you could say, “He runs quickly,” which paints a clearer picture. I’ve put together a list of 300 common adverbs, from A to Z, to help you in everyday conversations. Download Adverbs List PDF
