Grade 4 & 5 Adverb Worksheets | Free English Worksheets - Free Printable

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to rewrite each sentence using adverbs — words that describe how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

We need to identify the verbs in each sentence and then add appropriate adverbs to make the sentences more descriptive.

1. This music homework is too difficult.

- Verb: "is" (linking verb)
- We can modify "difficult" with an adverb of degree.
- Rewritten: *This music homework is extremely difficult.*

> ✔ Explanation: "Extremely" is an adverb modifying the adjective "difficult."

2. His doctor told him to take two tablets.

- Verb: "told"
- We can use an adverb to describe *how* the doctor told him.
- Rewritten: *His doctor kindly told him to take two tablets.*

> ✔ Explanation: "Kindly" describes the manner in which the doctor gave the instruction.

3. My mother gives me an allowance, so I have not got money.

- Verb: "gives"
- We can add an adverb to describe *how often* she gives it.
- Rewritten: *My mother regularly gives me an allowance, so I have not got money.*

> ✔ Explanation: "Regularly" modifies the verb "gives," indicating frequency.

4. The warrior is bold to face the giant.

- Verb: "is" (linking verb), "face"
- We can modify "bold" with an adverb of degree.
- Rewritten: *The warrior is very bold to face the giant.*

> ✔ Explanation: "Very" modifies the adjective "bold."

Alternatively: *The warrior bravely faces the giant.*
> ✔ Here, "bravely" modifies the verb "faces."

But since the original says "is bold," we keep it as a description of state. So both are valid, but let’s go with:
> *The warrior is very bold to face the giant.*

5. David moved to his room as his mother announced vegetables for dinner.

- Verbs: "moved", "announced"
- Add adverbs to describe how they acted.
- Rewritten: *David quickly moved to his room as his mother excitedly announced vegetables for dinner.*

> ✔ Explanation: "Quickly" modifies "moved"; "excitedly" modifies "announced."

6. The old man scowled at the trader as he increased the price.

- Verbs: "scowled", "increased"
- Add adverbs to describe the actions.
- Rewritten: *The old man angrily scowled at the trader as he gradually increased the price.*

> ✔ Explanation: "Angrily" describes how he scowled; "gradually" describes how the price was increased.

7. James could teach history, but he does not have ________.

- The sentence seems incomplete. It likely should say:
*"James could teach history, but he does not have time."*
- But we need to add an adverb to the sentence.
- Let’s assume the full sentence is:
*"James could teach history, but he does not have time."*

Now, we can add an adverb to modify "could" or "have".

Better version:
> *James easily could teach history, but he does not have enough time.*

Or:
> *James could teach history, but he does not have much time.*

But to focus on adverbs, let’s revise:
> *James easily could teach history, but he does not have any time.*

Wait — “easily” is an adverb modifying “could”, and “any” is a determiner, not an adverb.

Better option:
> *James could teach history, but he does not have much time.*

Still no strong adverb.

Let’s rephrase with clear adverbs:
> *James certainly could teach history, but he does not have enough time.*

- "Certainly" = adverb modifying "could"
- "Enough" = adverbial phrase (modifies "have")

So final version:
> ✔ *James certainly could teach history, but he does not have enough time.*
