Adverbs of Manner in English

Grammar Rules

Adverbs of manner tell you the way an action is performed.

They answer the question how?

Usually, the adverb follows the verb.

E.g.

• The students cheered enthusiastically when they were told that they were getting a holiday.


Sometimes, the adverb is placed before the verb to emphasise the manner of the action.

E.g.

• He deliberately tripped the rude boy.

• She suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


Although many adverbs of manner end in -ly, not all do.

E.g.

• She’s trying hard to impress the judges.
