Explanation:
We need to complete each sentence by adding an adverb that matches the clue in parentheses. An adverb tells us *how*, *when*, or *where* something happens.
Let’s go one by one:
1. (when?) John passed the test
→ We need a time word: e.g., *yesterday*, *quickly* is how, not when — so better:
yesterday
But wait — “quickly” answers *how*, not *when*. So for “when?”, correct choices: *yesterday*, *last week*, *early*, *soon*, etc. Since it's a basic worksheet, simple words are best. Let’s pick
yesterday.
2. (how?) Evan asked
→ How did he ask? Softly? Loudly? Politely? Common answer:
politely (or *quietly*, *nervously*). Simplest:
politely
3. (when?) Paula arrived
→ Again, time:
on time,
late,
early,
yesterday. Best simple answer:
early
4. (when?) George called me
→ Time:
just now,
yesterday,
last night. Let’s use
yesterday
5. (how?) Henry dances
→ How does he dance? Joyfully? Badly? Gracefully? Simple:
joyfully or
badly — but positive is safer:
joyfully
6. (how?) Frank colored
→ How? Carefully? Quickly? Neatly? Common:
carefully
7. (where?) I see her
→ Where? *There*, *here*, *outside*, *in the park*. Simplest:
there
8. (how?) Tina talks
→ How? Softly? Loudly? Clearly? Good choice:
softly
9. (when?) Ki will be home
→ Future time:
soon,
later,
tomorrow. Best:
soon
10. (how?) John sings
→ How? Beautifully? Off-key? Loudly? Simple positive:
beautifully
11. (where?) The kids played
→ Where? *Outside*, *in the yard*, *at school*. Best:
outside
12. (how?) the doorbell rang
→ How? *Loudly*, *softly*, *suddenly*. Most natural:
loudly
Now double-check: all answers match the question type (when/how/where), and are simple adverbs.
Final list:
1. yesterday
2. politely
3. early
4. yesterday
5. joyfully
6. carefully
7. there
8. softly
9. soon
10. beautifully
11. outside
12. loudly
Note: Some sentences could have multiple correct answers, but these are standard, age-appropriate choices for a grade-school worksheet.
Final Answer:
1. yesterday
2. politely
3. early
4. yesterday
5. joyfully
6. carefully
7. there
8. softly
9. soon
10. beautifully
11. outside
12. loudly
