Suffix: ly - Word Classes by URBrainy.com - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step.

First, we’re learning about adding the suffix “ly” to words to make adverbs — words that describe how something is done.

We start with these base words:
1. sudden → add “ly” = suddenly
2. bad → add “ly” = badly
3. loud → add “ly” = loudly
4. quiet → add “ly” = quietly

Now, let’s use those new words in sentences:

5. The boy did __________ in his end of term tests.
→ We need a word that describes *how* he did. “Badly” fits here (meaning not well).
Answer: badly

6. The gun went off __________ and frightened the birds away.
→ How did it go off? Loudly! That makes sense — loud noise scares birds.
Answer: loudly

7. James tiptoed __________ through the woods.
→ Tiptoeing means walking very quietly. So “quietly” is perfect.
Answer: quietly

8. The rain __________ began to pour down.
→ This one is tricky. “Suddenly” means without warning — which fits when rain starts pouring fast.
Answer: suddenly

Now, write a sentence using each of these words: quickly, really, poorly.

- quickly: She ran quickly to catch the bus.
- really: I am really happy today.
- poorly: He played poorly in the game.

(You can write your own sentences too — just make sure they make sense!)
