Adverbs may be divided into four general classes; adverbs of place, of time, of cause, of manner. Adverbs of place answer the questions, Where? Whither? Whence? as, here, there, above, yonder, below, somewhere, back, upwards, downwards, &c. Adverbs of time answer the questions, When? How long? How often? as, then, yesterday, always, ever, con. rinually, often, frequently, &c. Adverbs of cause answer the questions, Why? Whereore? as, why, wherefore, therefore, then. NOTE. Causal relations are commonly expressed by phrases and clauses. (See 132, a.) Adverbs of manner answer the question, How? as, elegantly, faithfully, fairly, &c. They are generally derived from adjectives denoting quality. Under this head may be classed those which answer the ques tion, How? in respect to quantity or quality; as, How much? How good? &c.; as, too, very, greatly, chiefly, perfectly, mainly, wholly, totally, quite, exceedingly. Modal adverbs belong to this class. (See 134, a.) The following are the principal modal adverbs: - yes, yea, verily, truly, surely, undoubtedly, doubtless, forsooth, certainly; no, nay, not, possibly, probably, perhaps, peradventure, perchance. All phrases or clauses which denote place, time, cause, or manner, are of the nature of adverbs. COMPARISON OF ADVERBS. Many adverbs, like adjectives, admit of comparison; as, soon, sooner soonest; bravely more bravely, most bravely. NOTE. For interrogative and conjunctive adverbs, see Lessons XIV. and XV. LESSON XII.

Interrogatives are words used in asking questions. There are three kinds of interrogatives,-pronouns, ad jectives, and adverbs. Interrogative pronouns are used to inquire for some per son or thing. They are who, which, and what. Who is used to inquire for persons; what, as a pronoun, inquires for things; which refers to one of several persons or things; as, "Who wrote? James." "What do you see?
