ADVERBS OF TIME. Adverbs of time tell us the time when the action took place. To identify them we can ask a question starting with "cuándo" (when).

Example

Nos contaron la noticia ayer. (They told us the news yesterday).

In this example if we ask, "¿cuándo nos contaron la noticia?" (when did they tell us the news?) we will get the answer "ayer" (yesterday) which is the adverb of time of the sentence. It is the word that tells us the time when the action of "contarnos la noticia" (telling us the news) took place.

ADVERBS OF MANNER. Adverbs of manner are going to tell us the way the action has been performed, so by asking "cómo" (how) we will get the adverb of manner within a sentence.

Example

Nos contaron la noticia felizmente. (They told us the news happily).

In this example if we ask, "¿cómo nos contaron la noticia?" (how did they tell us the news?) we will get the answer "felizmente" (happily) which is the adverb of manner of the sentence. It is the word that tells us the way the action of "contarnos la noticia" (telling us the news) was carried out (by them).

ADVERBS OF QUANTITY. Adverbs of quantity are going to modify other adverbs or adjectives. To identify them we can ask a question starting with "¿cuánto?" (how much?).

Example

Nos contaron la noticia bastante felizmente. (They told us the news quite happily).

In this example "bastante" (quite) tells us "how happy" they tell us the news. These adverbs of quantity can increase or decrease the meaning of the adverb or adjective they are modifying.

ADVERBS OF AFFIRMATION. Adverbs of affirmation are used to answer a question in an affirmative way.

Example

Ciertamente nos contaron la noticia. (They certainly told us the news)

In this example, "ciertamente" (certainly) is used to make affirmative the action of "contarnos la noticia" (telling us the news).

ADVERBS OF NEGATION. Adverbs of negation are used to answer a question in a negative way or when talking, to disagree with the other speaker or response to him in a negative way. In other words, they are used to make negative the action of the sentence.

Example

Nunca nos contaron la noticia. (They never told us the news)

In this example, "nunca" (never) negates the action of "contarnos la noticia" (telling us the news).

ADVERBS OF DOUBT. Adverbs of doubt are used to show a sense of hesitation or doubt about the action of the sentence.

Example

Quizás nos contaron la noticia. (Perhaps they told us the news).

In this example, "quizás" (perhaps) indicates a sense of doubt or uncertainty from the speakers point of view about the action of "contaron la noticia" (they told us the news). Adverbs, like adjectives, can be used in comparisons . Normally they follow the same rules as adjectives and like them there are a few that are irregular when making their comparisons. These you will have to learn by heart.
