Step-by-step solution for: Free Printable English worksheets - kiddoworksheets
You're right — this worksheet is asking you to add adverbs to “up level” (enhance or improve) the sentences. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It often tells *how*, *when*, *where*, or *to what extent* something happens.
Let’s go through each sentence and fill in suitable adverbs that make the sentence more vivid, precise, or expressive. I’ll explain my choices.
---
- *Completely* emphasizes full understanding.
- *Perfectly* suggests ideal compatibility.
---
- *Strongly* shows intensity of dislike.
- *Firmly* implies decisive, unshakable rejection.
---
- *Absolutely* adds emphasis to certainty.
- *Simply* suggests it’s easy or obvious — implying the other person’s misunderstanding is unnecessary.
---
> ⚠️ Note: This sentence has a double negative (“hardly doesn’t care”) which is grammatically awkward. Better rephrasing:
→ His father hardly cares that he accidentally wrecked his car.
- *Hardly* = barely / not much → softens the indifference.
- *Accidentally* explains how the wreck happened (not on purpose).
---
- *Dramatically* = a big, noticeable improvement.
- *Suddenly* = unexpected timing — creates contrast (improvement after quitting? Maybe they were causing problems!)
---
- *Mildly* = not strongly — shows her disapproval was slight.
---
- *Carefully* describes how she searched.
- *Accidentally* explains the unintended injury.
---
- *Loudly* = volume of cheering.
- *Enthusiastically* = energy and excitement behind it.
---
- *Quickly* = time passed fast.
- *Unusually* = highlights that her quietness was out of the ordinary.
---
> Wait — “great” is an adjective, not an adverb! So let’s fix that.
✔ Better: It takes incredibly / truly / extremely courage to be a gymnast.
But wait — “courage” is a noun. So technically, we need an adverb modifying the verb “takes” or describing “courage”? Hmm...
Actually, the sentence structure is a bit off. A better version would be:
→ It takes a lot of courage → already fine, but if we must add an adverb to “up level” it:
✔ It takes *incredibly* a lot of courage... → sounds awkward.
Better fix:
→ It takes *tremendous* courage... → again, “tremendous” is adjective.
Ah — here’s the key: “a lot” can be modified by an adverb!
✔ Final answer: It takes *truly* a lot of courage to be a gymnast.
- *Truly* = adverb emphasizing sincerity or degree.
Alternatively, you could say:
→ It takes *immense* courage — but again, “immense” is adjective.
So stick with truly or incredibly before “a lot”.
✔ Best fit: It takes *incredibly* a lot of courage to be a gymnast.
*(Note: Some may argue “incredibly” modifies “a lot,” which is acceptable in informal English.)*

## ✔ Final Answers (with explanations):
1. completely, perfectly
2. strongly, firmly
3. absolutely, simply
4. hardly, accidentally *(note: corrected sentence structure)*
5. dramatically, suddenly
6. mildly
7. carefully, accidentally
8. loudly, enthusiastically
9. quickly, unusually
10. incredibly *(or “truly” — placed before “a lot”)*
---
## 💡 Teaching Tip:
When choosing adverbs, ask:
- How did it happen? → *slowly, loudly, carefully*
- To what degree? → *very, extremely, slightly*
- When? → *yesterday, soon, suddenly*
- Where? → *here, everywhere*
This helps students pick appropriate adverbs to “up level” their writing!
