20 Examples of Dubious Adverbs

Dubious Adverbs

Doubtful adverbs (or adverbs of doubt) are those that express some level of probability since they do not have a specific level of certainty. For example: maybe, possibly.

Like all adverbs, have the function of modifying a verb or to another adverb. For example: Probably vwe will leave tomorrow.(modify a verb) / I don't know how the new student sings: maybe good or maybe wrong.(modify another adverb)

Adverbial phrases of doubt are made up of more than one word and work in the same way. The words that make up the adverbial phrase cannot be considered in isolation as an adverb, but together they make up a structure that is. For example: maybe, apparently.

In journalistic discourse it is common to resort to these turns, especially when the need to "give the scoop" is urgent. They can also imply doubt certain verbal turns, such as 'I'm afraid that', 'I think that', 'I suppose that', 'I don't know if' or 'I would believe that'.
