Adverbs can modify adjective and other adverbs by adding a certain degree of intensity to the adjective.

Examples

• The woman is quite pretty.
• We will be slightly late in the evening.
• The weather report is almost always right.

The adverb almost is modifying the adverb always, and they are both modifying right.

Adverbs and other Adverbs

Adverbs can be used to describe another adverb.

Examples

• Phillip sings rather enormously too loudly.
