Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They can also modify verbals and complete clauses. Adverbs answer questions such as Where? When? How? Why? To what extent? Under what circumstances?

While juggling three balls (a verbal phrase functioning as an adverb). Why did he run? To escape the boredom of summer vacation (an infinitive phrase functioning as an adverb). Get it?
