Understanding the Task
The worksheet is about
adverbs. The goal is to identify the adverb in each sentence and write it in the blank provided.
An
adverb is a word that describes a verb, telling:
-
How something happens (e.g., *quickly*)
-
When something happens (e.g., *later*)
-
Where something happens (e.g., *outside*)
Many adverbs end in
"-ly", but not all do. For example:
- "fast", "well", "hard", "very" are also adverbs.

📝 Explanation Summary:
Each answer is an adverb modifying the verb in the sentence. They describe
how the action was performed (e.g., carefully, quietly, gently), or compare actions (e.g., faster, loudest). Even though some don’t end in "-ly" (like "faster", "quickest"), they are still adverbs because they modify verbs and describe manner, degree, or comparison.
