An adjective is used to modify a noun while an adverb modifies everything else, including an adjective. But for this section, we will only look at adverbs that modify verbs. Change the adjectives in bold into an adverb which modifies the verb underlined. For example, rude becomes rudely, lofty becomes loftily and full becomes fully.
