ABOUT ADVERBS

HI, I just came up with a basic question.

About adverbs, I know they modify verbs and adjs.

Can they also modify Be-verbs??

What do they modify when in sentences such as below:

" I am actually a teacher. "

" It's obviously his fault. "

Are they correct?? What do advs. here modify??

Although I've been studying English for years, sometimes, I still find it really confusing...

are they completely wrong?? Sorry for answering my own question. I did search on the internet and some people actually say in that way.

Hi,

Don't feel that way. Idiots are people who need answers but don't ask questions.

Please feel free to ask about anything else that is difficult for you.
