MatthewS  +  440865 Sat, 10 Nov 07 09:54 AM HI, I just came up with a basic question. About adverbs, I know they modify verbs and adjs. Can they also modify Be-verbs?? What do they modify when in sentences such as below: " I am actually a teacher. " " It's obviously his fault. " Are they correct?? What do advs. here modify?? Although I've been studying English for years, sometimes, I still find it really confusing... MatthewS Joined on Tue, Sep 18 2007 New Member 17 Verbs, Adverbs
