🔍 Explanation Summary:
- Most adjectives can become adverbs by adding
-ly (e.g., heavy → heavily).
- Some words like
always,
never,
often, etc., are already adverbs and don't need changes.
- Nouns like "accident" must be converted into adverbs via their adverbial form (
accidentally), not just by adding -ly.
This worksheet helps practice forming and using adverbs to describe how, when, or to what extent something happens.
