Explanation:
We need to identify
adverbs (words that describe or modify verbs) and
underline the verbs they describe.
Let’s go through each sentence one by one:
1. *We finally got our grades from the test.*
- Verb:
got
- Adverb:
finally → modifies *got* (tells *when* or *how* we got the grades)
✔ Circle *finally*, underline *got*
2. *Jack walked his dog to the park quickly.*
- Verb:
walked
- Adverb:
quickly → tells *how* he walked
✔ Circle *quickly*, underline *walked*
3. *The balloon rose quickly in the sky.*
- Verb:
rose
- Adverb:
quickly → tells *how* it rose
✔ Circle *quickly*, underline *rose*
4. *We danced merrily around the school yard.*
- Verb:
danced
- Adverb:
merrily → tells *how* we danced
✔ Circle *merrily*, underline *danced*
5. *Lisa watched the ball game closely.*
- Verb:
watched
- Adverb:
closely → tells *how* she watched
✔ Circle *closely*, underline *watched*
6. *The player boldly ran from base to base.*
- Verb:
ran
- Adverb:
boldly → tells *how* he ran
✔ Circle *boldly*, underline *ran*
7. *My mom cares deeply about me.*
- Verb:
cares
- Adverb:
deeply → tells *how* she cares
✔ Circle *deeply*, underline *cares*
8. *I almost ate a rotten apple.*
- Verb:
ate
- Adverb:
almost → tells *how much* or *to what extent* (she didn’t quite eat it)
✔ Circle *almost*, underline *ate*
9. *Tom plays football outside.*
- Verb:
plays
- Adverb:
outside → tells *where* he plays
✔ Circle *outside*, underline *plays*
10. *I already finished my homework.*
- Verb:
finished
- Adverb:
already → tells *when* (before now)
✔ Circle *already*, underline *finished*
Now, for the final part:
> Write a sentence, underline the verbs and circle the adverbs.
We need to create
one original sentence, then:
- Underline the verb(s)
- Circle the adverb(s)
Let’s make a simple, correct example:
She quietly read the book.
- Verb: *read* → underline it
- Adverb: *quietly* → circle it
That sentence follows the rules: one verb, one adverb modifying it.
Final Answer:
She quietly read the book.
