Who (adverb or adverb phrase) answers the question 'Why'?

English Language & Usage Asked by user415842 on March 5, 2021

Adverb answers the question-When,Where,How

On the other hand,

Adverb phrase answers the question- When,Where,How & Why

Here, Adverb phrase answer an extra question- Why?

Please explain it.

One Answer

In simplest terms the answer to this would be:

When are you visiting them? Tomorrow. [Adverb]

Where are you going? Home. [Adverb]

How are you doing? Fine. [Adverb]

Why are you doing this? Because he is such a badass. [Adverb clause of reason]

The last question demands an explanation and therefore an adverb phrase or clause is required. Not necessarily so with the other three questions.
