What are adverbs and how many types of adverbs are there?
Adverbs
Extension can be a word / group of words that changes verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It tells us once, where, and how the verb form is performed or indicates the degree or extent of the action.
Many adjectives end in -ly but some words end in -ly (like friendship) do not seem to be extensions. several words will become adverbs and adjectives that correspond to their function within a sentence.
Integration Extensions:
The connecting adverb connects phrases or individual clauses. It provides a trade-off between ideas and shows relationships.
Joint extensions are referred to as connectors.
Sentence Extensions:
The sentence extension starts the sentence and changes the complete sentence.

2) Adverbs of place- They mention where an action takes place.
For example- I am going there.
Please come inside.
3) Adverbs of time- These adverbs state the time of occurrence of an action.
For example- I will go there tomorrow.
He will come soon.
4) Adverbs of frequency- They tell us how often an action takes place.
For example- I brush my teeth daily.
I comb my hair often.

An adverb is a word or an expression that modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence. Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc., answering questions such as how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what extent?.
A great way to pick out an adverb from a sentence is to look for the word ending in -ly. Although that’s not universally true, it’s a good place to start. Also, given their function, these fundamental elements of the English language are usually placed right before or after the verb in the sentence.
Adverbs are intensifiers and they can even come in the form of an adverb phrases. That just means you’re looking at two or more words that act as an adverb. Let’s take some time to dive (v.) deeply (adv.) into these popular modifiers.
Here are some examples of adverbs modifying verbs:
He runs quickly.
She walks slowly.
He’s happily chattering
over there in the corner.
Adverbs can also modify adjectives or other adverbs. They provide more information about that other descriptive word. For example:
He runs very
quickly.
In this sentence, the adverb “very” is describing the adverb “quickly” (“very quickly” can be used as an adverb phrase).
An incredibly
pretty girl sat down next to me.
In this sentence, the adverb “incredibly” is describing the adjective “pretty.”
