Adverbios
If you want to describe where something is, you will probably need an adverb.
If you need to describe the direction something is moving in, or to indicate the frequency, fashion, speed, intensity or perspective of something, you probably need an adverb.
These words are everywhere, and there are even a couple in this very sentence!
How to Recognize Many Adverbs in Spanish
When you think of adverbs in English, you may think first of all of those words that end in -ly.
