Bonus: Write a sentence, underline the verbs, and circle the adverbs.

Here’s an example:

> She sings beautifully every evening.

- Verbs: *sings* → underline sings
- Adverbs: *beautifully* (how she sings), *every* (frequency – modifies "evening", but not directly a verb) — wait, *every* is part of the noun phrase "every evening".

Actually, "every" is an adjective modifying "evening", so it's not an adverb.

But "beautifully" is clearly an adverb modifying the verb "sings".

So better example:

> He runs very fast every morning.

- Verbs: *runs* → underline runs
- Adverbs: *very* (modifies "fast"), *fast* (adverb describing "runs"), *every* (adverb of time, modifying "morning")
Wait — *very* and *fast* are both adverbs here.

Let’s clarify:

- "very" = adverb modifying "fast" (another adverb)
- "fast" = adverb modifying "runs"
- "every" = adverb of time modifying "morning"

So final breakdown:

> He runs very fast every morning.

- ✔ Underline: runs
- ✔ Circle: very, fast, every

But note: Some might argue "every" is not an adverb in this context. Actually, "every" is typically considered a determiner, not an adverb.

Better example:

> The bird flew silently through the night.

- Verb: *flew* → underline flew
- Adverb: *silently* → circle silently

This is cleaner.

✔ Final answer for the bonus:

> The bird flew silently through the night.
- Underline: flew
- Circle: silently
