Adverbs in German provide additional information about actions, situations, or states. They can describe when something happens, where it takes place, how it is done, or to what extent. Unlike adjectives, adverbs do not change their form and are not declined. Their position in the sentence, however, plays a crucial role in meaning and emphasis.
