Adverbials are words that tell us more about an action in a sentence. They can describe how, when, where, or how often something is done.
Let's think about a simple sentence like "She eats."
Now, if we add an adverbial, we can give more information about how she eats. For example:
- She eats quickly. This adverbial tells us how she eats, and gives us a mental image of her shoveling food into her mouth.
- She eats at school. This adverbial tells us where she eats.
- She eats every day. This adverbial tells us how often she eats.
By adding adverbials, we can create a more complete picture of what's happening in a sentence. And because there are so many different types of adverbials, we can get really creative with the way we describe actions.
