Let's Define It!
What's an *adverb*?
An adverb is a word that can modify most parts of speech with the exception of a noun.
When you say, for example, "Elle chante bien" [She sings well], the adverb bien [well] modifies the verb chante.
And when you say "Elle chante très bien" [She sings very well], the adverb très [very] modifies the adverb bien [well]. So in other word, an adverb can modify a verb or even another adverb among others.
