An adverb is indeed a word that is used to change, modify, or qualify several types of words including an adjective, a verb, a clause, etc. Adverbs provide additional information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.

    • False

    Correct Answer

    "Vegetarians never eat meat." In this statement, 'never' is an adverb of time. True or false. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False. In the statement "Vegetarians never eat meat," the word 'never' does not function as an adverb of time. Instead, 'never' is used as an adverb of frequency, indicating the absence of a particular action at any time or on any occasion. Adverbs of time typically refer to when an action occurs, such as "always," "today," or "yesterday," while adverbs of frequency describe how often an action takes place. So it is an adverb, but not relating to time.
