There is a myth that all adverbs are written together. Indeed, there are certain patterns, but there are many exceptions. In order not to be mistaken, it is better to look into the spelling dictionary.

A vivid example of the fact that adverbs are not always correct to write together. In this casehttp://gramota.ru/slovari/dic/?lop=x&bts=x&ro=x&zar=x&ag=x&ab=x&sin=x&lv=x&az=x&pe=x&word=%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BE%D1%89%D1%83%D0%BF%D1%8C - apart.

It is important to distinguish adverbs from nouns "abroad", "abroad", "out of town", Which are written together. Adverbs answer the questions "where?", "Where?", "Where?", And nouns - "what?", "What?", "Why?", "What?", "About what?"
