Post Write the 2 adverbs in each sentence and explain how each adverb is used?
Example: Eventually, she walked proudly. Answer: eventually - eventually tells when she walked ; proudly - proudly tells how she walked


1) She walked very slowly into the room.

2) You scolded him rather harshly.

Answer 1) Slowly modifies walked

Answer 2) Harshly modifies scolded

Both have that classic adverb "ly" ending.

Bonus - very in the first sentence is an adjective modifying the adverb slowly. Very is not an adverb in this sentence.
