    * “Of course” is an adverbial phrase rather than a single adverb. It functions as an adverb in a sentence, typically indicating agreement, affirmation, or certainty.

    ** “The door was left open, so I pushed it to.” (In this sentence, “to” functions as an adverb meaning “shut” or “closed.” It describes the action of moving the door to a closed position.)
