Let’s go through each part of the worksheet step by step.
---
Part 1: Underline the adverbs of time in these sentences
Adverbs of time tell us *when*, *for how long*, or *how often* something happens. They can be one word or a phrase.
1.
The postman started his round at six o’clock in the morning.
→ “at six o’clock in the morning” tells us *when*. So underline that whole phrase.
2.
Aunt Mary kept her heating on very high all winter.
→ “all winter” tells us *for how long*. Underline it.
3.
Whenever possible Sally went swimming in the outdoor pool.
→ “Whenever possible” tells us *when* (or under what condition/time). Underline it.

Part 2: Complete these sentences where the adverbs of time are at the start
We need to finish the sentence so it makes sense, starting with the given time phrase.
4.
In the morning → Example: In the morning, I brush my teeth and eat breakfast.
5.
Yesterday afternoon → Example: Yesterday afternoon, we played soccer at the park.
6.
Long ago → Example: Long ago, people lived in caves and hunted for food.
*(You can make up your own — just make sure the rest of the sentence matches the time!)*
---
Part 3: Add adverbs of time to the ends of these sentences
Add a time phrase at the end to say *when* it happened.
7.
The temperature dropped to below freezing → ...last night.
(or: ...yesterday evening / ...during the storm)
8.
The football team have been much more successful → ...this season.
(or: ...since last year / ...after they got a new coach)
9.
The finches flew to the bird feeder in the garden → ...early this morning.
(or: ...every day at dawn / ...just after sunrise)
