 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A. Background of The Paper

When we talk about the grammar of a language then that comes to mind is
how to arrange the words contained in the language into a series of meaningful,
which can be understood both by the speakers and the hearing. Therefore, learn
grammar in English is to learn how to use the word in a standard sentence
pattern in English.

Adverb can modify verbs, adjectives, other information, phrases, or clauses.

Adverb indicates manner, time, place, clause, or the degree/level and answer
questions such as “what”, “how”, “when”, “where”, and “how much”.

It is causing noun, adjective, adverb, article, pronouns, and the use to be into
the field of study of the English language is important not least because through it
all one can convey meaning clearly. Unit of language that we already know
before arriving at the level of the sentence is : Noun, Adjective, and Adverb. The
third form of it, is learning the basic or the basic structure that we must learn in
order to better understand the procedure to speak English well and smoothy.
Pronoun noun or noun in English grammar plays a very important. Can we
imagine if the human language does not have pronouns may arise irregularities.
In short that all noun forms are so diverse species we can replace the pronoun.

In studying English, there are many things to be known in advance. One of

them is part of the spoken word or in English is called Part of Speech. In English
grammar, Part of Speech are classified into eight types of words are classified
according to what he showed the noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb,
preposition, conjunction, and interjection. But in this paper will only discuss about
adverb only, in accordance with a predeterminedsop.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

A. Definition of Adverbial
Adverb is a word that gives a description of the place, time and manner, of am
activity or event that occurred. Example : here, now, softly, loudly, tomorrow, again,
twice, never, etc.
Adverb is also defined as a word that describes a verb, adjective, preposition,
and other word except noun and pronoun.
Adverb Clause is a form of dependent clauses. They can not stand by itself as
a sentence in English. They must be connected to an independent clauses. When

2
the adverb clause is preceded by an independent clause, a comma is used to
separate clause, whereas when adverb clause followed by independent clause,
usually do not uses commas.
Adverbial clause is usually classified based on the “meaning / intent” of the
conjunction (conjunction which preceded it)
In the book Accurate, Brief, and Clear English Grammar explained that the
adverb is an adverb or an additional word in use to describe a verb.

Example :
a. I am working now.
(kata kerja dalam kalimat tersebut adalah keterangan waktu yang
menerangkan kata kerja working)
b. Hendi speaks loudly.
(kata laoudly dalam kalimat tersebut menerangkan bagaimana cara Hendi
berbicara)
c. Wenny never comes before dinner.
(kata never dalam kalimat tersebut merupakan keterangan petunjuk
frekuensi/keseringan)

B. The Function of Adverbial

Adverb has become mandatory for us who likes to learn English. After we
have learned to understand the type of adverb, it is time to understand some of the
functions of adverb in grammar. To determine the function of an adverb in English
grammar, Frank (1972 : 145-147) reveals there are 3 functions adverb in grammar.

1. Adverb as Modifier of a Verb

Example :
The boy threw the ball quickly intervening.
Adverb “quickly intervening” (fast) above explains the verb ‘threw’ = a
second form of the ‘throw’. That is, the boy throws the ball quickly : quickly
point throw, not a boy or ball. Adverb of manner (read : type adverb
according to meaning) does by itself explain verb (the verb), being adverb of
plice and time, although considered could explain verb (the verb), but some
experts grammar states that adverb of plice and time can only explain a
whole sentence. Example : the boy threw the ball quickly intervening there

2
 twice yesterday, adverb of place ‘there’ explain the whole phrase ‘the boy
quickly intervening threw a ball’. Likewise with time adverb (adverb of time)
‘yesterday’ explained the whole sentence ‘kid throw the ball quickly’.
However, the above three adverbs, there, twice, yesterday could explain the
verb ‘throw’.

2. Adverb of Modifier (intensifier) of an Adjective or an Adverb

Example :
a. The boy threw a ball very quickly intervening.
Adverb ‘very’ explains the adverb ‘quickly intervening’. It means that
the ‘very’ is fast.

b. Dina is really smart

Adverb ‘really’ explains the adjective ‘smart’.

3. Adverb of Modifier of an entire Sentence

Example :
Fortunately, the boy threw the ball quickly intervening.
Adverb ‘fortunately’ (thankfully) describes the whole phrase ‘the boy threw the
ball quickly’.

In conclusion, adverb have four function, namely :

a. Describe the verb
b. Explain another adverb
c. Explain the adjective
d. Explain the whole sentence
