Adverb worksheet for learning and practicing adverbs in sentences.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a box of words:
- bravely
- strong
- wide
- bright
- calmly
- naughty
- badly
- correctly
- equally

First, we need to find which of these are adverbs.
Remember: An adverb tells us *how*, *when*, or *where* something happens — especially how an action is done (modifying a verb).

Most adverbs end in “-ly”, but not all! Let’s check each word:

✔ Adverbs (describe how something is done):
- bravely → describes how someone fights or acts
- calmly → describes how someone deals with something
- badly → describes how something happened
- correctly → describes how something was answered or done
- equally → describes how something is treated or shared

✘ Not adverbs (they are adjectives — describe nouns):
- strong → describes a person or thing (e.g., strong man)
- wide → describes size or shape (e.g., wide road)
- bright → describes light or color (e.g., bright sun)
- naughty → describes behavior of a person (but it’s still an adjective here)

So the adverbs we can use are:
→ bravely, calmly, badly, correctly, equally

Now let’s match them to the sentences:

1. The fireman fights the fire ________________.
→ Firemen fight bravely. ✔ “bravely” fits perfectly.

2. My parents treat both me and my sister ________________.
→ They treat us equally. ✔ “equally” makes sense.

3. She answered every question ________________.
→ She answered correctly. ✔ “correctly” fits.

4. She deals with the situation ________________.
→ She deals calmly. ✔ “calmly” works well.

5. The boy ________________ got injured in the accident.
→ He got injured badly. ✔ “badly” describes the extent of injury.

All blanks filled with correct adverbs from the list.

Final Answer:
1. bravely
2. equally
3. correctly
4. calmly
5. badly
