Adverbs Worksheet — Answers & Explanations
Instructions: From the box below, select the adverb that best completes each sentence.
Word Box:
Abruptly | Usually | Loudly | Famously | clearly
Angrily | Anxiously | Reluctantly | Urgently | closely
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Anxiously” describes *how* he waited — with nervousness or worry. This fits the context of waiting for important news (acceptance to a team).
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Closely” describes *how* he gets along — meaning in a close, intimate, or friendly way. While “well” might also fit, “closely” is the only option from the box that makes sense here and fits the adverb of manner category.
> 📝 *Note:* “Usually” is already used in the sentence (“Kelechi usually gets along…”), so we need an adverb to describe *how* he gets along — not *when*. So “closely” is correct.
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Loudly” describes *how* they play the music — at a high volume. This is a classic adverb of manner.
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Clearly” describes *how* you can see — without blur or obstruction. Perfect fit for describing the manner of seeing.
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Urgently” tells us *when* or *how soon* the research is needed — immediately or with great importance. This is an adverb of time/urgency.
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Angrily” describes *how* Owen shouted — with anger. Adverb of manner.
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Reluctantly” means unwillingly or hesitantly. It describes *how* she admitted — not happily, but with hesitation. Adverb of manner.
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Closely” describes *how* to monitor — carefully, attentively. Fits perfectly as an adverb of manner modifying “monitor.”
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Abruptly” means suddenly or unexpectedly. Describes *how* the truck stopped — which explains why the driver behind slammed on brakes. Adverb of manner.
---
> ✔ Explanation: “Usually” tells us *when* — under normal circumstances. This is an adverb of time, contrasting past routine with current exception.
---
## ✔ Final Answer Key:
1. anxiously
2. closely
3. loudly
4. clearly
5. urgently
6. angrily
7. reluctantly
8. closely
9. abruptly
10. usually

## 💡 Grammar Tip Recap:
As the worksheet explains:
- Adverb of manner → tells *how* (e.g., loudly, angrily, closely)
- Adverb of place → tells *where* (not heavily used here)
- Adverb of time → tells *when* (e.g., usually, urgently)
Most of these sentences require adverbs of manner, except #5 and #10, which are adverbs of time/urgency.
