Adverbs in a sentance
Hi,
My son says there are 2 adverbs in the below sentence.
She quickly ate her dinner and ran out.
1) quickly and 2) out
But I think out is a preposition. Can anyone help to understand this, please?
Thanks

Re: Adverbs in a sentance
I think, and am very prepared to stand corrected, that the only adverb in that sentence is quickly. I used to remember adverbs as being words that describe HOW something is done, and 'out' does not do this.
mad?
Re: Adverbs in a sentance
To be honest I haven’t the foggiest; however this is what Dr Google has found for me:

Any clearer....?..... I’m not sure it is for me

Thank you Both.
Looks like "Out" can be used as adverbs and prepositions.
Looks at the sentence below...
"He took out a pair of socks." - Because out takes the object "a pair of socks", out is a preposition in this sentence.
"He took out." - Because there is no noun after out, out is an adverb
Please correct me if I am wrong ?
