To solve this worksheet, we need to look at the clue in parentheses at the end of each sentence. This clue tells us what kind of adverb is needed:
*
(how): Describes the manner or way something happens (e.g., quickly, slowly, loudly).
*
(when): Describes the time something happens (e.g., yesterday, soon, later, now).
*
(where): Describes the place or direction something happens (e.g., outside, there, down, away).
Here is the step-by-step solution for each sentence:
1.
Clue: (how) - We need a word describing *how* she waited. "Patiently" fits well.
2.
Clue: (when) - We need a time word. Since he was sick, he likely couldn't come "yesterday" or "today." Let's use "yesterday."
3.
Clue: (how) - We need a word describing *how* he walked. "Slowly" or "quickly" works. Let's use "slowly."
4.
Clue: (where) - We need a direction or place. Roller coasters usually go "up," "down," or "around." Let's use "up."
5.
Clue: (when) - We need a time word. "Tomorrow" or "soon" fits wanting to go on a ride. Let's use "tomorrow."
6.
Clue: (how) - We need to describe the waiting. If the line was long, you wait "patiently" or "forever." Let's use "patiently."
7.
Clue: (when) - We need a time word for when it breaks down. "Often" or "sometimes" works for frequency/time. Let's use "often."
8.
Clue: (how) - We need to describe how they expected it to go. Usually, people expect things to go "smoothly" or "well." Let's use "smoothly."
9.
Clue: (how) - We need to describe how it went. If they were surprised, maybe it went "badly" or "fast." Let's use "fast."
10.
Clue: (when) - We need a time word. "Soon" or "later" fits best here. Let's use "soon."
11.
Clue: (how) - We need to describe how she looked. "Nervously" or "carefully" fits looking down from a height. Let's use "nervously."
12.
Clue: (how) - We need to describe how it was spinning. "Wildly" or "fast" works. Let's use "wildly."
13.
Clue: (how) - We need to describe how he skipped. "Happily" or "quickly" works. Let's use "happily."
14.
Clue: (how) - We need to describe how stomachs churned. "Violently" or "badly" works. Let's use "badly."
15.
Clue: (where) - We need a place. The ride wasn't built completely "here" or "there." Let's use "there."
16.
Clue: (when) - We need a time word. They are going "later" or "soon." Let's use "later."
