·18 min·1 clip
Mary learns that simple words like 'yes' and 'no' are actually adverbs that refer to verbs.
Mary and her mother explore the part of speech called adverbs, learning how they modify verbs by showing manner, place, time, number, quantity, and questions. They use analogies like a chest of drawers to categorize different adverb types, and the episode concludes with a story about Harriet's selfless act of buying sponge-cakes for a sick friend.
