List of adverbs

In the last post I gave you a list of adjectives you could use to make your writing more interesting. In this post I'm going to give you a list of adverbs. Remember: adverbs are adjectives which are used only to describe verbs. 

EXAMPLE:

The girl ran quickly around the corner. In this sentence, 'ran' is the verb and 'quickly' is the adverb. 

I'm not quite sure why some of the words are clustered together on the left hand side - it didn't look like that when I laid it out in the template!


quietly          loudly             softly            quickly                speedily              rapidly

hurriedly           hastily              slowly               carefully             cautiously

thoughtfully          thoughtlessly              pedantically              gracefully

peacefully           sorrowfully               happily               gladly              horridly

grotesquely               viciously          nastily         cruelly         kindly           greedily              
famously              tragically            outrageously              mercifully             elegantly

bravely            anxiously             nervously            shyly             calmly           brightly

painfully             perfectly            recently            politely              occasionally

regularly           smoothly           roughly             suspiciously            thoughtfully

seriously             jokingly            selfishly           altruistically             basically

correctly             incorrectly             intentionally              unintentionally

purposefully            accidentally               easily              beautifully          magnificently

violently               aggressively
