Adverbs

Adverbs based on adjectives (remember last lesson)are one of the simplest parts of German grammar. Any adjective can be used as an adverb simply by placing its uninflected form within the sentence, usually towards the end.

Das Ehepaar ging gestern fröhlich spazieren. (The married couple went for a walk joyfully yesterday.)

Other adverbs have no adjectival equivalent. Many of these express time.

Damals (at that time) Ich bin gestern dort gewesen. (I was there yesterday.) Morgens bin ich normalerweise im Büro. (I am normally in the office in the morning.)
