Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following sentence ?
Almost overnight new grass spring up.
Answer: D
The underlined word 'Almost' is an Adverb.
An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb. In 'Almost overnight new grass spring up', 'almost' modifies 'overnight', which itself tells when the grass springs up, an adverbial idea. Words of degree such as almost, nearly and very are adverbs.
It is not a preposition, since it does not link a noun to the rest of the sentence; not a pronoun, since it stands for no noun; and not an adjective, since it does not describe a noun.
