Adverbs of time

Since the main job of adverbs is to modify verbs, adverbs include words that indicate the time in which the action of the verb is done. These are some of the adverbs that are not based on adjectives. Learn the following list of adverbs to add to your list of important vocabulary words.

ahora

now

anoche

last night

antes

before

aún

even, yet

ayer

yesterday

entonces

then

luego

then, later

mañana

tomorrow

nunca

never

pronto

soon

siempre

always

tarde

late

temprano

early

todavía

still, yet

While other types of adverbs are generally placed after the verb, the placement of the previous adverbs of time is generally pretty flexible. They can either precede or follow the verb of the sentence.

él todavía habla.

He still speaks.

él habla todavía.

He speaks still.

Siempre corremos en el parque.

We always run in the park.

Corremos siempre en el parque.

We always run in the park.

Adverbs of manner

Adverbs of manner tell how something is done. Many of the adverbs created from adjectives are adverbs that indicate the manner in which a verb is done. When an adverb is modifying a verb, it will immediately follow the verb it modifies unless there is a direct object after the verb. If there happens to be a direct object after the verb, the adverb will follow the direct object.

Ramón come rápidamente.

Ramón eats quickly.

Adela canta tristemente.

Adela sings sadly.

Nyscelle baila felizmente.

Nyscelle dances happily.

Gonzalo habla español perfectamente.

Gonzalo speaks Spanish perfectly.

Adverbs that modify adjectives or adverbs

When an adverb is used to modify an adjective or another adverb, it will be placed in front of the adjective or adverb it modifies. Many of these adverbs act as intensifiers. For example, the adverb “very” can intensify the adjective “intelligent” as in the sentence: “He is very intelligent.” The adverb “very” can modify the adverb “intelligently” as in: “He reads very intelligently.” Notice in the English examples, the adverb “very' is in front of the adjective “intelligent” or the adverb “intelligently.” This is exactly what happens in Spanish.

Él es muy inteligente.

He is very intelligent.

Él lee muy inteligentemente.

He reads very intelligently.

The following are some common adverbs that can be used to intensify (modify) an adjective or an adverb.

muy

very

extremadamente

extremely

totalmente

totally

completamente

completely

sumamente

extremely
