An adverb of palce usually talks about talks the location where the action of the verb is being carried out. For instance, in "Please put the books here," the adverb of place is "here."

Question

What is an adverb in this sentence? "The father glanced down at the paper which he was holding in his hand."

Top Answerer

"Down" is an adverb modifying "glanced." Everything after "down" is an adverbial phrase also modifying "glanced." The adverbial phrase consists first of a prepositional phrase and then an independent clause (which includes a second prepositional phrase).

Question

What are the 2 steps I do when finding the adverb in a sentence?

Top Answerer

First identify all verbs and adjectives in the sentence. Then identify any words that modify the verbs or adjectives. Those modifiers are adverbs. If the adverbs are modified by other words, those modifiers are also adverbs.

"As heirs for the bounty that each of us have/has received" - which would be correct?

Has. "Each" is short for "each one," so it's "each one has." (Ignore the prepositional phrase "of us.")
