Verbs and Adverbs

A verb is what one is doing, or has done. These are a key element that separates a sentence from a fragment. These show you what the subject of a sentence is doing, about to do, or has done, which becomes an important thing to know. Without it, there is almost never a complete thought, so having verbs is very important.
An adverb is a word that is used to describe the verb. ((Example: She ran quickly.—the verb is ran, the adverb is quickly.)This affects our writing more in that it isn’t a necessary part of our sentences, but a useful part. When one is reading, it can sometimes paint a much more vivid (or at least interesting) picture in your head to read “Anna was going to be walking very quickly to her grandmother’s house,” than to simply read, “Anna was going to be walking to her grandmother’s house.” Sometimes you need the adverb, and sometimes you do not.
