Adverbs
Adverbs are traditionally defined as words used to modify adjectives,
verbs and other adverbs. Adverbs like "finally," "wonderfully," and
"very" are easy to understand in both Modern and Old English, and
they are barely touched on in this exercise. Rather, the exercise
is concerned mostly with conjunctive adverbs, which provide
logical transitions between clauses. Examples of conjunctive adverbs
in Modern English are however, nevertheless, therefore, then, and
thus. These are related to conjunctions in meaning and function,
and in consequence are often confused with them by both speakers of
Modern English and students of Old English.
