Question

What are the adverbs in the following sentence?: The rain was falling very hard as the delivery man quickly delivered the package.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Adverbs are words which describe verbs or other adverbs. They can answer questions like:

The last adverb is quickly which describes the verb "deliver"
