273. We have learned,—

(1) That adverbs may be simple adverbs or conjunctive adverbs.

(2) That simple adverbs merely modify some word or group of words.

(3) That conjunctive adverbs modify, and at the same time introduce a dependent clause and join it to whatever the clause modifies.

(4) That one kind of simple adverb is the interrogative adverb, which is used in asking a question.

(5) That an adverb may modify a verb, an adjective, an adverb, a whole predicate, or even a whole statement.

(6) That adverbs may denote time, place, manner, degree, and direction.

(7) That some adverbs may be compared.

Give a good illustration of each point in this summary.

274. When we parse an adverb we should tell,—

(1) Its class as to use,—simple, interrogative, conjunctive.

(2) Its class as to meaning,—time, place, manner, etc.

(3) Its degree (if it admits of comparison).

(4) Its use, and what it modifies.

Exercise.—Parse each adverb in the following sentences:—
