All questions that an adverb answers
Hi,I often find it hard to classify if a phrase is use as an adverb in a sentence. I know it answers the questions how, when, where, in what way, to what extent but are there others? Can somebody enumerate all questions that an adverb answer, especially if it modifies a verb. Thanks.

I doubt it, and even if that were possible, it would not necessarily help you to classify an adverb when you see it in a sentence.
Most adverbs that modify
