Intensifiers

One function of adverbs is to intensify the meaning of the word it is modifying.  It does this by either putting more or less emphasis on the word, amplifying the meaning of the word, or to toning down the feeling of the word. 

Here are some sentences with the emphasizing adverb underlined: I really don’t care; He literally wrecked his car; I am certain of the facts, for sure; You simply don’t understand; and I so want to go to the concert.

Sentences that amplify would be like:

• She completely rejected his proposal
• I heartily endorsed the new restaurant
• I so want that new toy
• He completely understands me
• I absolutely refuse to stay here any longer

Adverbs and adverb phrases that tone down the feeling or mood would include:

• I sort of felt betrayed by you
• You can improve on this to some extent
• She kind of likes the movie
• The boss almost quit his job after that
• I somewhat understand what you are saying
• She mildly disapproved of his actions 

Adverb Phrases

• Next door

• Every month
• For his mother

Adverb phrases can also start with the infinitive form of a verb, like in these examples: to buy a car, to support the team, or to show her mother.

• Every time he cracked a joke
