Adverbs are used in the Chinese language before an adjective or a verb to show, time, extent, degree, or negation. For instance, one can use the words extraordinarily, extremely or very to indicate the degree of an action. Extent is represented by all and only, while time is represented by adverbs such as already, ever, just, at the moment, immediately or often.
Negation is represented by not and no, while positive is represented by two adverbs surely and sure. Continuity or repetition is represented by “again” used in different context and written differently. It can be repeated more than once to emphasize on the degree of repetition. Adverbs that are used to indicate mood in Chinese language are even and however.
In the Chinese language, adverbs are only used in front of adjectives or verbs unlike the English language where they may be used either before or after an adjective. While English adverbs have superlative and comparative degrees, the Chinese language uses same words to indicate degree as the case is with adjectives.
