Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to:
-
Circle the adverb (the word that tells *how*, *when*, or *where* something happens — it usually describes a verb)
-
Underline the verb (the action word)
Remember: Adverbs often end in “-ly”, but not always! And they tell us more about the verb.
