This is one of the site’s deepest example collections: 350 original examples organized across 6 practical categories. Search, filter, and compare patterns without reading the list in order.
Effective adverbs supply distinctions that cannot be expressed more directly by the verb or context and are placed where their scope is clear.
Use these fuller examples to see what changes between a recognizable pattern and a finished piece of writing. The examples are original or explicitly illustrative, so they demonstrate structure without inventing real-world evidence.

Adverb placement can change proposition-level meaning, not merely style.
Why it works: The first limits who checked; the second limits which folder was checked. Move “only” beside the element it is intended to limit.
Draft
The goal is precision, not removing every adverb automatically.
Why it works: If the manner itself matters, “very quickly” is grammatical. If the exact movement is known, “He hurried to the exit” may be more concise.
These transformations make the hidden planning step visible so the template does not become a fill-in-the-blanks substitute for judgment.
Starting material: Draft: She only emailed the final report to Arun.
Result: She emailed only the final report to Arun.
Starting material: Draft: The corridor was very, very narrow.
Result: The corridor was too narrow for two people to pass side by side.
| Level | What changes | Quality test |
|---|---|---|
| Recognition & scope | Identify what the adverb modifies: verb, adjective, another adverb, or the whole clause. | The scope of words such as only, almost, even, and just is explicit. |
| Type & placement | Distinguish manner, time, frequency, place, degree, focus, sentence, and conjunctive uses where helpful. | Placement communicates the intended timing, limitation, intensity, or stance without ambiguity. |
| Revision & economy | Keep adverbs that add necessary information and replace weak verb-plus-adverb combinations when a more precise verb is genuinely better. | The revision avoids both blanket anti-adverb rules and needless intensifier clutter. |
