Example:
* I want it badly.
* She was really pleased.

* She sings beautifully.
Characteristics:
* Adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective. Ex: slow (adj) - slowly (adverb)
* Many adverbs are gradable. Ex: "very softly", "extremely slowly"
* Some adverbs can take comparative and superlative forms, with -er or more and -est or most. Ex. Mary works harder. John works hardest.
* As a sentence constituent, an adverb or any group of words that can substitute for an adverb is an adverb phrase.
