What is an adverbial?
Adverbials are used like adverbs. They are words or phrases that add more information to a verb, and explain how, when or where something happened.
Examples of adverbials
- Later, we ate our lunch with our friends.
- Just then, we heard a noise.
- I like to walk through the forest occasionally.
- It’ll be my birthday in September.
