Explanation

The chapter explains that adverbs of manner describe 'how' something is done. Examples given include 'warmly' (how the stag greeted), 'slowly' (how the stag recovered), and 'quickly' (how the rabbit ate). The adverbs of manner from the table are: badly, cheerfully, quietly, carefully, fast, and loudly. Words like 'soon', 'lately', 'early', 'regularly', 'highly', and 'nearby' are adverbs of time, frequency, degree, or place – not manner.
