Adverbs

1. Adverbs are used to describe, or modify verbs, other adverbs, and adjectives. They answer the questions when?, where?, how?, how much?
2. Many adverbs in Russian are formed from adjectives by adding the ending -o to the stem:

   adjective	adverb
   интересн-ый	интересн-о
   плох-ой	плох-о
   хорош-ий	хорош-о

3. In English very often the adverb and the adjective look alike:

   adjective	This is a fast car.
   adverb	This car is fast.

4. When translating into Russian, you should always look at the word that is being modified to figure out if you need an adjective or an adverb.
