## ✔ Step 1: Identify ALL the adverbs in the word bank

An adverb describes *how*, *when*, *where*, or *to what extent* something happens. Let’s go through the word bank and pick out the adverbs:

> Word Bank:
> early → ✔ (adverb of time — e.g., “She woke up early”)
> mouse → ✘ (noun)
> always → ✔ (adverb of frequency)
> carefully → ✔ (adverb of manner — already circled)
> soon → ✔ (adverb of time)
> helicopter → ✘ (noun)
> quietly → ✔ (adverb of manner)
> eventually → ✔ (adverb of time)
> bear → ✘ (noun/verb — not an adverb here)
> near → ✔ (adverb of place — e.g., “The cat sat near”)
> skillfully → ✔ (adverb of manner)
> salmon → ✘ (noun)
> bus → ✘ (noun)
> privately → ✔ (adverb of manner)
> normally → ✔ (adverb of frequency)

✔ Circled Adverbs (All Correct Ones):
early, always, carefully, soon, quietly, eventually, near, skillfully, privately, normally

*(Note: “mouse”, “helicopter”, “bear”, “salmon”, “bus” are NOT adverbs — they’re nouns.)*

## 📝 Teacher Tip:
This exercise helps students understand how adverbs modify verbs (e.g., *how* someone does something — “carefully,” “quietly”), when (“early,” “soon”), or how often (“always,” “normally”). It also reinforces vocabulary and context clues!
