Question

Identify the adverb of manner, place, time or frequency underlined in the given sentence.
My friend came to my house daily.

• A. Manner
• B. Place
• C. Time
• D. Frequency

Answer 1

The correct option is D Frequency

In order to identify the type of adverb, let's understand what adverbs are. Adverbs are words that describe something about the verbs. For example, I ran fast. Here, 'fast' describes the way 'I' ran, so 'fast' is an adverb.

Option A - 'Manner' describes the way an action is done. Here, the adverb 'daily' doesn't describe the way the action was done. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Place' describes the place where the action took place. Here, the adverb 'daily' doesn't describe the place where the action was done. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Time' describes when the action was/is/will be done. Here, 'daily' doesn't describe when the action was done. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Frequency' describes the duration or the number of times the action was done or takes place. Here, 'daily' describes the number of times the action was done. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

'Daily' explains the number of times the subject 'comes' to the object's house.
