Can somebody please explain briefly the word 'adverbial phrase' and give a few examples??.......?

Question

My h/w's due in 6 hrs time.........

Answer 1

adverbial adj.

Of, relating to, or being an adverb. An adverbial element or phrase.

Answer 2

You waited awfully late, Casey. Anyway, an adverbial phrase is any that starts out with or contains as a main reference an adverb. That's a word that tells you more about a verb, which is, as you know, action. An adverb will further describe the action.

"I went to the dance and practically died in there."
practically is the adverb, the phrase practicallly died in there. died is the verb of the phrase.

"You are late to do homework and may pay doubly for it."
the adverb is doubly, the verb in the phrase is pay, etc.

Adverbs very often end with the letters "ly" and always describe more about a verb. Look for the phrase in your sentences. You'll see 'em. Good luck!

Answer 3

An adverb is a word that describes or gives quality to a verb, such as 'he walked quickly'; where quickly describes the manner in which the walking was done.
An adverbial phrase is a group of words that has the same effect as an adverb, such as 'he jumped over the wall', where 'over the wall' describes where he jumped.
