Hi,
I'd like to know the meaning of "sentence adverbs"

They modify a whole sentence, often giving the speaker's opinion:
Unfortunately, it rained all afternoon.
'Unfortunately' expresses what the speaker thinks about it having rained. Also, the are normally separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma(s).![]()
Hi,
I'd like to know the other adverbs which modify the all sentence.
Regards

There are many- if it can be used to express an opoinion (wisely, regrettably, etc), it can be used as a sentence adverb. But don't forget that most can also be used as ordinary adverbs:
He spoke wisely- adverb modifying the verb
Wisely, he decided not to say anything- sentence adverb
