How did he eat?  –> He ate quickly. (menjawab pertanyaan ‘how’)
He sang and dance beautifully.       (setelah kata kerja kerja ‘sang’ dan ‘dance’)
He opened the door quietly.         (setelah object ‘the door‘)
Adverb of manner menggantikan phrase atau ungkapan ‘in a/an … way’.

He drives the car in a careful way. = He drives the car carefully.
She tore the letter in an angry way. = She tore the letter angrily.
