Adverb Worksheets | How, Where, and When - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Degrees of Comparison - Adverbs" that asks students to complete sentences using the correct degree of comparison for adverbs (positive, comparative, or superlative). Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on the text you’ve provided.

Here’s the worksheet content and my step-by-step solution:

Let’s analyze each sentence and fill in the correct form of the adverb.

Solution with Explanation

1. The children were ___________ in the classroom today.
→ Likely missing an adverb describing how they behaved.
But the sentence lacks context. Assuming it's about behavior, e.g., "quietly."
However, no comparison is implied. So we use positive degree.
✔ Answer: *quietly* (or similar) — but since no options given, assume positive.

→ But wait — if it's asking for comparison, maybe it's implying a contrast. Let’s look again.

Actually, many of these seem to have clues in the sentence itself.

Let's go one by one.

2. Carl moves ___________ of all the boys at the meeting.
→ “Of all the boys” implies superlative.
We need the superlative form of an adverb.
Example: "Carl moves fastest of all the boys..."
✔ Answer: fastest

---

3. Some cranes are ___________ of all the cranes, approximately.
→ Again, “of all the cranes” suggests superlative.
We’re comparing cranes; likely referring to height or size.
Adverb? Maybe “tallest”? But “tallest” is an adjective.
Wait — adverbs modify verbs, not nouns.
“Cranes are…” — subject + verb — so we need an adjective here, not adverb.

But the worksheet says Adverbs, so perhaps there’s a mistake.

Alternatively, maybe it's: “Some cranes move ___ of all…”?

But as written: “are ___________ of all the cranes” — this is awkward.

Perhaps it’s meant to be: “Some cranes are the tallest of all the cranes.” But that’s an adjective.

Hmm. Let's skip and come back.

Maybe it’s a typo. If it's about movement: “Some cranes move most gracefully of all.”

So perhaps: most gracefully?

But the sentence says “are”, not “move”.

→ Possible error in worksheet. But assuming it wants adverbial comparison, let’s suppose it’s about movement.

Alternatively, maybe it’s: “Some cranes are the most graceful of all…” — still adjective.

Conclusion: This may be a mix-up. But since the topic is adverbs, maybe the intended answer is something like most gracefully.

But without a verb, it doesn’t fit.

Let’s assume it’s: “Some cranes move ________ of all the cranes.” Then answer would be most gracefully.

But as written, it’s unclear.

For now, let’s assume the intended meaning is most gracefully.

✔ Answer: most gracefully (assuming verb is implied)

4. The man drives ___________ than the moon, hopefully.
→ “Than” indicates comparative.
But “drives than the moon” — that doesn’t make sense. Moon doesn’t drive.

Probably a joke or metaphor. But logically, it’s nonsensical.

Perhaps it’s meant to be: “The man drives more carefully than the moon, hopefully.” — but moon doesn’t drive.

Or maybe: “The man drives faster than the moon?” Still odd.

But grammatically, “than” requires comparative.

So any adverb in comparative form.

Example: more slowly, more cautiously, etc.

But what makes sense?

“The man drives more cautiously than the moon, hopefully.” — still weird.

Perhaps it’s a typo. Maybe “than the other drivers”?

But as written, we must choose a comparative adverb.

Let’s pick a logical one: more carefully

✔ Answer: more carefully

---

5. Kevin sang ___________ of all the singers in the choir. Beautifully.
→ “Of all the singers” = superlative
“Beautifully” is the positive form.
So we need the superlative of “beautifully” → most beautifully

✔ Answer: most beautifully

---

6. My parents ___________ with the fingers that work with a brush. Smoothly.
→ “Smoothly” is the positive form.
But the sentence is incomplete.
Likely: “My parents work smoothly...” or “draw smoothly”?

But it says: “My parents ___________ with the fingers…”

So probably: “My parents work smoothly with the fingers…”

But the blank is before the verb.

Wait: “My parents ___________ with the fingers…” — so the blank should be a verb phrase?

But the instruction is to use adverbs.

So likely: “My parents work _________ with the fingers…”

But the blank is where the adverb goes.

So: “My parents work [adverb] with the fingers…”

And “smoothly” is given.

But “smoothly” is already there.

Wait — the sentence says:
“My parents ___________ with the fingers that work with a brush. Smoothly.”

That seems like the adverb “smoothly” is separate.

Perhaps it's: “My parents draw ___________ with the fingers… smoothly.”

But it’s ambiguous.

Maybe the blank is for the adverb, and “smoothly” is a hint.

So: “My parents draw smoothly with the fingers…”

But then why is “smoothly” after the sentence?

Perhaps it’s a clue: the adverb is “smoothly,” and we need to use it correctly.

But the sentence is: “My parents ___________ with the fingers that work with a brush. Smoothly.”

That suggests the action is done smoothly.

So the blank might be a verb, but the task is about adverbs.

So perhaps the intended sentence is:
“My parents paint ___________ with the fingers that work with a brush. Smoothly.”

Then answer: smoothly

But “smoothly” is already given.

Alternatively, maybe it’s:
“My parents paint ___________ with the fingers that work with a brush.”
and “Smoothly.” is the clue.

So the adverb is smoothly.

But it’s not a comparison.

Wait — is there a comparison?

No. So perhaps it’s just positive degree.

But the worksheet says “correct degree of comparison.”

So unless there’s a comparison, it’s positive.

But none is indicated.

So likely: smoothly

✔ Answer: smoothly

7. Of all the children, Jacob plays the piano ___________. Skillfully.
→ “Of all the children” → superlative
“Skillfully” is the positive form.
So we need most skillfully

✔ Answer: most skillfully

---

8. Today, Julia walked across the campus ___________. Very precisely. Clearly.
→ “Very precisely” and “Clearly” are hints.
But “very precisely” is not a degree of comparison — “very” is used with adverbs, but “precisely” is positive.

“Clearly” is also positive.

But the sentence has no comparison.

So likely, we use precisely or clearly.

But which one?

“Very precisely” suggests the adverb is precisely, and “very” intensifies it.

But “very” is not part of the degree.

So the adverb is precisely.

But again, no comparison.

So positive degree.

✔ Answer: precisely

---

9. Cheryl danced ___________ than her brother. Fastest.
→ “Than” = comparative
“Fastest” is superlative, but the sentence uses “than”, so we need comparatively.

So “danced faster than her brother.”

✔ Answer: faster

---

10. This is the ___________ established bank in the country, today.
→ “in the country” = superlative
“Established” is a past participle, but we need an adverb modifying “established”.

But “established” is an adjective here.

So we need an adverb to describe how it was established? But that doesn’t make sense.

Actually: “This is the most recently established bank…” — yes!

“Recently” is an adverb, and “most recently” is superlative.

So: “This is the most recently established bank…”

✔ Answer: most recently

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. [Unclear — possibly "quietly" or "noisily", but no comparison] → (not clear)
2. fastest
3. most gracefully (assuming implied verb)
4. more carefully

6. smoothly
7. most skillfully
8. precisely

🔍 Key Rules Used:

- Positive degree: base form (e.g., quickly)
- Comparative degree: used with "than" or "more/less" (e.g., more quickly, faster)
- Superlative degree: used with "the" and "of all" or "in the group" (e.g., the fastest, the most beautifully)
