Let's solve this Grade 2 Grammar Worksheet step by step. The goal is to:

- Circle the adverbs (words that describe or modify verbs).
- Underline the verbs that the adverbs describe.

🔹 What are adverbs?

Adverbs usually tell how, when, where, how often, or to what extent something happens. They often end in *-ly*, but not always.

Examples:
- *quickly* → how? (describes "walked")
- *finally* → when? (describes "got")
- *almost* → to what extent? (describes "ate")

---

Now, let’s go through each sentence:

📝 Bonus: Write your own sentence

Here’s an example you could write:

> She sings beautifully every morning.

- Verbs: *sings* (underline)
- Adverbs: *beautifully*, *every* (circle both)

> Why?
> - *Beautifully* describes how she sings.
> - *Every* (as in “every morning”) shows how often, so it’s an adverb of frequency.

---

✔ Summary Tip:
Look for words that answer:
- How? → *quickly, loudly, quietly*
- When? → *already, finally, soon*
- Where? → *outside, there, nearby*
- How often? → *always, never, sometimes*

And remember: Adverbs often (but not always) end in *-ly*!
