Визначення та Значення "sentence adverb"

What is a "sentence adverb"?

A sentence adverb is a type of adverb that modifies an entire sentence rather than just a single verb, adjective, or other word. It provides additional information about the speaker's attitude or the manner in which the sentence should be understood. Common sentence adverbs include words like "fortunately," "honestly," or "however." For example, in the sentence "Honestly, I did not expect that," the word "honestly" modifies the entire sentence by indicating the speaker's sincerity. Sentence adverbs help convey tone, mood, or the overall perspective of the speaker regarding the statement being made.
