Verbs and Adverbs

A verb is a doing word whereas a adverb is used to modify a meaning of something.

Different verbs and adverbs have different effects as you start to get primary and modal auxiliaries.

A primary auxiliary is a verb that gives extra information about the main verb.

A modal auxiliary is a verb that indicates modality. (Can, could, must) They are usually placed along a continuum to show a degree of strength towards commitment.

For example there is a clear difference between, 'Liverpool will beat Man city', compared to, 'Liverpool might beat man city'.
