Grade 4 & 5 Adverb Worksheets | Free English Worksheets - Free Printable

You're working on an adverb worksheet that asks you to rewrite sentences using adverbs — meaning you should add or replace words in the sentence with adverbs (words that describe *how*, *when*, *where*, or *to what extent* something happens).

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and rewrite it using appropriate adverbs. I’ll explain my choices so you understand why.

---

1. We go there; however, she comes here.

➡️ Rewritten:
We go there reluctantly; however, she comes here eagerly.

✔ Explanation:
- “Reluctantly” describes *how* we go there (unwillingly).
- “Eagerly” describes *how* she comes here (with excitement).
This adds adverbs that show attitude or manner.

2. The prize money was distributed among the champions.

➡️ Rewritten:
The prize money was distributed fairly among the champions.

✔ Explanation:
- “Fairly” is an adverb describing *how* the money was distributed — equally or justly.
This makes the action more descriptive.

3. Allison has graduated.

➡️ Rewritten:
Allison has graduated successfully.

✔ Explanation:
- “Successfully” tells us *how* she graduated — she completed it well.
You could also say “proudly,” “recently,” or “brilliantly” depending on context.

4. It rained yesterday, and it was hot to play rugby.

➡️ Rewritten:
It rained heavily yesterday, and it was too hot to play rugby.

✔ Explanation:
- “Heavily” describes *how* it rained.
- “Too” is an adverb modifying “hot” — it shows degree (“excessively hot”).
This improves both parts of the sentence with adverbs.

5. Sugar is sweet but, I prefer honey.

➡️ Rewritten:
Sugar is sweet, but I prefer honey passionately.

✔ Explanation:
- “Passionately” describes *how* you prefer honey — with strong feeling.
You could also use “strongly,” “much more,” or “over sugar.”

> Note: The original sentence has a comma splice — “but,” shouldn’t have a comma before it unless it’s joining two independent clauses. But since this is about adding adverbs, we focus on that.

6. My family goes to the beach, and I am excited.

➡️ Rewritten:
My family goes to the beach joyfully, and I am excitedly waiting.

✔ Explanation:
- “Joyfully” describes how the family goes (happily).
- “Excitedly” describes how you are waiting (with excitement).
You could also say “My family goes to the beach every summer, and I am extremely excited.” — “extremely” is an adverb of degree.

7. I spend my winter holiday in Florida.

➡️ Rewritten:
I spend my winter holiday happily in Florida.

✔ Explanation:
- “Happily” describes *how* you spend your holiday — with joy.
Other options: “relaxingly,” “peacefully,” “annually” (if you mean *when*), or “frequently.”

💡 Tip for Students:
Adverbs often end in “-ly”, but not always! Examples: *very, too, well, fast, hard, early, late*. Always ask: “How? When? Where? To what extent?” — that’s where adverbs fit!

Let me know if you want to try different adverbs for any sentence — there are many creative ways to do this! 🎯
