Function of adverbs
Adverbs are words or phrases of invariable form which modify the meaning of words, phrases or whole sentences:
- Il est entré dans un monde étrangement silencieux
He entered a strangely silent world
(étrangement modifies just silencieux; it is the silence which is strange, not the person or the world he enters)
- J'ai entendu un bruit dehors
I heard a noise outside
(dehors modifies just entendre un bruit; it indicates where the noise was, not where the person hearing it was)
- Soudain j'ai entendu un bruit
Suddenly I heard a noise
(soudain modifies the sentence and expresses the suddenness of the whole event)
