what is adverb of manner

An adverb of manner is a type of adverb that describes how something happens or is done. It modifies or changes a sentence to tell us whether something was done quickly, slowly, happily, or sadly. Adverbs of manner are usually placed after the main verb or after the object. For example, "He swims well" and "He ran quickly" are sentences with adverbs of manner. Adverbs of manner cannot be placed between a verb and its direct object, but must be placed either before the verb or at the end of the clause. Adverbs of manner are created by adding -ly to the adjective, such as "quickly" from "quick" and "carefully" from "careful". Adverbs of manner can be placed in the end position or mid-position depending on the length of the sentence or object. Adverbs of manner help to add interest and detail to a sentence, and clarify how an action is carried out.
