Adjective Phrases And Clauses Quiz Questions And Answers - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to find the adverbial phrase — that’s a group of words that acts like an adverb. It tells us *how*, *when*, or *where* something happened.

We’ll look at each sentence and ask:
→ What part tells us how? (manner)
→ What part tells us when? (time)
→ What part tells us where? (place)

Then we write that phrase in the box.

1. Why did he act so strangely, and...
Wait — this sentence is cut off. But “so strangely” is already there. That’s telling us how he acted. So the adverbial phrase is:
→ so strangely

But note: The instruction says “underline the adverbial phrases”, but since we’re writing them in boxes, we just write the phrase.

Actually, looking again — the first sentence might be incomplete. Let’s assume it’s meant to be:
“Why did he act so strangely?” → Then “so strangely” = how → ✔

But let’s check all sentences carefully.

Now, let’s double-check #1. The sentence says:
“Why did he act so strangely, and...” — it seems cut off. But if we take what’s given, “so strangely” is clearly the adverbial phrase describing *how* he acted.

So even though it’s incomplete, we can still identify the phrase present.

4. in the morning
