Adjectives and Adverbs - All Things Grammar - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to turn each adjective into an adverb and then write a complete sentence using that adverb.

Remember:
- Most adjectives become adverbs by adding “-ly” (like quick → quickly).
- If the word ends in “y”, change it to “i” and add “-ly” (like happy → happily).
- Some words are irregular — like good → well, fast → fast (no change!).

Now let’s do each one:

1. quick → quickly
Example given: *I was late, so I quickly got out of bed.* ✔

2. good → well (irregular!)
Sentence idea: She sings very well.
→ *She sang the song well during the concert.*

3. happy → happily (change y to i + ly)
Sentence idea: The children played happily.
→ *The children played happily in the park all afternoon.*

4. terrible → terribly
Sentence idea: He did terribly on the test.
→ *He performed terribly in the game because he was sick.*

5. excited → excitedly
Sentence idea: She talked excitedly about her trip.
→ *She spoke excitedly when she told us about her birthday party.*

6. hungry → hungrily
Sentence idea: The dog ate hungrily.
→ *The puppy ate his food hungrily after playing outside.*

7. loud → loudly
Sentence idea: They shouted loudly.

8. nervous → nervously

9. fast → fast (irregular — no change!)
