An
adverb is a word that changes or simplifies the meaning of a verb, adjective, other adverb, clause, or sentence.Adverbs
typically answer questions such as how?, in what
way?, when?, where?, and to what extent?. This function is
called the adverbial function,
and is realised not just by single words (i.e., adverbs) but by adverbial phrases and adverbial clauses.

and how often.

now, last year
