Talk:adverb

I removed the following text from the Usage notes section:

"* Adverbs and prepositions are sometimes confused. To differentiate, adverbs typically describe how something was done; while prepositions often describe where something was done. For example:
 * 'He threw the ball really fast.' - Really and fast are both adverbs; really modifies fast and fast modifies (describes) threw.
 * 'She spilled milk all over the place.' - All over the place is a preposition, it describes where the milk went."

I did it because "all over the place" is not a preposition. It is a prepositional phrase, and in this case, this propositional phrase does act as an adverb. The preposition is all over. —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 22:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
