- always → adverb (how often?) ✔
- carefully → adverb (how?) ✔
- soon → adverb (when?) ✔
- helicopter → noun ✘
- quietly → adverb (how?) ✔
- eventually → adverb (when?) ✔
- bear → noun ✘
- near → adverb (where?) ✔ (can be used as adverb meaning "close to")
- skillfully → adverb (how?) ✔
- salmon → noun ✘
- bus → noun ✘
- privately → adverb (how?) ✔
- normally → adverb (how often/usually?) ✔

✔ Adverbs to circle:
early, always, carefully, soon, quietly, eventually, near, skillfully, privately, normally
