Adverbs Worksheets - Free Printable

Let's solve this step-by-step.

The task is to convert each adjective into an adverb by changing the word so it can describe how something is done (i.e., modify a verb).

Step 1: Understand the Rule

Most adverbs are formed by adding "-ly" to the end of an adjective.
For example:
- "Happy" → "Happily"
- "Quick" → "Quickly"

However, there are exceptions and special cases:
- Words ending in "y" often change the "y" to "i" before adding "-ly".
- Some words already end in "-ly", so they don’t need a change.
- A few irregular ones have different forms.

Step 2: Convert Each Word

Let’s go through the list:

1. Happy → Happily
(Add "-ly" after changing 'y' to 'i'? Wait — actually, "happy" ends in 'y', but we keep the 'y' and add "-ly". So: *happily*)

2. Quick → Quickly
(Add "-ly" directly)

3. Slow → Slowly
(Add "-ly")

4. Loud → Loudly
(Add "-ly")

5. Soft → Softly
(Add "-ly")

6. Bright → Brightly
(Add "-ly")

7. Clear → Clearly
(Add "-ly")

8. Angry → Angrily
(Change 'y' to 'i' and add "-ly"? Actually, no — "angry" becomes "angrily" — yes, change 'y' to 'i' before adding "-ly"? Wait: “angry” → “angrily” — yes, drop 'y', add 'i', then “-ly” → angrily)

9. Brave → Bravely
(Drop 'e', add "ly"? No — "brave" → "bravely" — keep 'e', add "-ly"? Actually, "brave" → "bravely" — correct form is bravely, with "-ly" added after the 'e')

10. Kind → Kindly
(Add "-ly")

11. Quiet → Quietly
(Add "-ly")

12. Sweet → Sweetly
(Add "-ly")

13. Polite → Politely
(Add "-ly")

14. Patient → Patiently
(Add "-ly")

Final Answers:

1) Happily
2) Quickly
3) Slowly
4) Loudly
5) Softly
6) Brightly
7) Clearly
8) Angrily
9) Bravely
10) Kindly
11) Quietly
12) Sweetly
13) Politely
14) Patiently

✔ All these are correct adverb forms.

Summary:

To make adverbs from adjectives:
- Add "-ly" to most adjectives.
- For words ending in "y" (like angry, happy), usually just add "-ly" — but sometimes spelling changes slightly (e.g., angrily, happily).
- Words ending in "e" (like brave, polite) keep the 'e' and add "-ly".

All answers follow standard English rules.
