Grammar
Adverbs are used to modify the meaning of verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
In Swedish many adverbs are derived from adjectives by adding t to the end of the adjective. If the adjective ends in a d, the d is changed to a t.
Adverbs are placed in sentences in a similar manner to English.
