Adverbs can be placed in various places of a sentence. For instance, adverbs may be placed before an adjective:

यह = it. बहुत = very. बुरा = bad. नहीं = not. है = is.

Adverbs can also be placed before a verb :

Adverbs can also precede another adverb:

I like it very much – मैं इसे बहुत चाहता हूँ (adverbs = very, much)

There are pure adverbs like “today”, “tomorrow” and adverbs that can be formed with the postposition से.

She did her work very happily – उसने अपना कम ख़ुशी से किया (adverbs = very, happily)

उसने = she. अपना = own. कम = work. ख़ुशी = happines. से = with. किया = did.

There are adverbs of the interrogative:
