Kata keterangan atau Adverb adalah salah satu bagian dari Part of Speech. Jadi kalau ingin sedikit mundur ke belakang, sobat bisa mengunjunginya lewat link tadi.
Sebagaimana halnya dalam bahasa Indonesia, Adverb (kata keterangan) berfungsi memberi keterangan pada kata kerja (verb), kata sifat (adjective), atau kata keterangan yang lain (another adverb).
Kata
keterangan yang menunjukkan kekerapan atau frekuensi pengulangan (adverb
of frequency) mempunyai jenjang urutan sebagai berikut:
always = selalu (100%)
usually = biasanya
often = sering/kerap kali
sometimes = kadang-kadang
seldom = jarang
rarely = jarang
never = tak pernah
Posisi
atau penempatan kata-kata keterangan dalam kalimat berada di
tengah-tengah kalimat (mid-sentence adverb), di awal atau di akhir
kalimat.
Examples :
I sometimes get up at 5.30
Sometimes I get up at 5.30
I get up at 5.30 sometimes
Dalam
kalimat positif, yang menggunakan Simple Present Tense dan Simple Past
Tense, kata keterangan (adverb) berada di depan kata kerjanya (verb).
Examples :
He always come to class (simple present)
She finally came to class (simple past)
Jika ada bentuk be dalam Simple Present Tense dan Simple Past Tense, maka kata keterangan (adverb) berada langsung di belakang be.
Examples :
Did John finally finish his work?
Is He usually come late?
Dalam kalimat negative, kata keterangan (adverb) umumnya berada di depan kata kerja negative, kecuali kata always dan ever.
Examples :
She usually doesn’t eat breakfast
I probably won’t go to the meeting
Kata always dan ever berada di belakang kata kerja bantu negative.
Example : She doesn’t always come to class
Kata keterangan (adverb) jugadapat memberi keterangan pada sebuah determiner dan kata ganti (pronoun).
Examples :
He told such a funny story
It is quite an easy job
Kata keterangan (adverb) juga memberikan keterangan pada kata benda yang disebutkan sebelumnya.
Examples :
Look at the sentence below
Did you attend the meeting yesterday?
Kata keterangan (adverb) memberi keterangan pada frasa kata depan (prepositional phrase).

The Adverb Clause
Recognize an adverb clause when you see one.
An adverb clause will meet three requirements:
Read these examples:
- First, it will contain a subject and verb.
- You will also find a subordinate conjunction that keeps the clause from expressing a complete thought.
- Finally, you will notice that the clause answers one of these three adverb questions: How? When? or Why?
Tommy scrubbed the bathroom tile until his arms ached.How did Tommy scrub? Until his arms ached, an adverb clause.
Josephine's three cats bolted from the driveway once they saw her car turn the corner.When did the cats bolt? Once they saw her car turn the corner, an adverb clause.
