ADVERBS

+71.  Classes of Adverbs.+—­Adverbs vary much as to their use and meaning.  It is therefore impossible to make a very accurate classification, but we may divide them, according to use, into limiting, interrogative, and conjunctive adverbs.

Limiting adverbs modify the meaning of verbs, etc.:  [He rows well].

Interrogative adverbs are used to ask questions:  [When shall you come?  He asked where we were going (indirect question)].
