Final Answer:
The words that are adverbs are:
- recklessly
- safely
- loudly
- nicely
- lively
- openly
- accidentally
- reluctantly
- shyly
(These should be colored one color, e.g., blue.)
The words that are adjectives are:
- glamorous
- silently
- miserably
- daily
- excitedly
- terrifying
- towering
- hastily
- crazily
- enormous
- adventurous
- concerned
- adorable
- annoyingly
- softly
- angrily
- brave
- clean
- cheerful
- carefully
- cloudy
- bewildered
- clumily
Wait — this list includes some *adverbs* (e.g., *silently*, *miserably*, *daily*, *excitedly*, etc.). Let me correct this by carefully identifying only the
adjectives among the leaf words.
Let’s analyze each leaf word:
- glamorous → adjective
✔
- silently → adverb
✘
- miserably → adverb
✘
- daily → can be noun/adjective/adverb; here likely used as adverb (e.g., “he works daily”) — but in word lists like this, *daily* is often treated as an adjective (e.g., *daily routine*). However, in this context, since the instruction says “select a colour for adjectives and a colour for adverbs”, and many of these are clearly adverbs ending in *-ly*, we need to separate based on function.
Standard rule for this grade level:
- Words ending in
-ly are usually
adverbs, *unless* they come from adjectives that don’t change meaning (e.g., *friendly*, *lovely*, *ugly* — but those are adjectives despite -ly). However, in this worksheet, all -ly words listed are
adverbs:
silently, miserably, daily (debatable), excitedly, terrifying (not -ly, but verb→adjective? Wait — *terrifying* is adjective), etc.
Let me zoom in to read all leaf words clearly and classify correctly.
