Fascinating Fact:

In travel writing, adverbs shape mood, the river moves lazily at 3 kilometres per hour, the kayaks drift peacefully.

In KS3 English, you learn how adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, and how adverbials express time, place, manner, and frequency. Accurate placement keeps sentences clear and controlled.
