Grammar – Adverbs


An adverb is a word that describes a verb. It usually (but not always) ends in ‘-ly’. Adverbs tell us how (manner), where (place), when (time), how much (degree) or how often (frequency) something happens.


Examples: Charlie walked carefully across the road. (manner) Mark ran away. (place) She painted yesterday. (time) Mishaal is almost finished her book. (degree) Theo always has sandwiches for lunch. (frequency)


Top tip!


It helps to ask how, where, when, how much or how often if you are unsure


of the adverb in a sentence.


A Underline the verbs. Ring the adverbs that describe them in these sentences and classify them in the table below.


1. Vladimir barely feels the cold in Ireland, because he used to live in Russia. 2. “Can we eat there?” asked Gillian, pointing to a pizza restaurant. 3. The ballerina danced gracefully across the stage. 4. My class has a weekly spellings test. 5. I am going to the cinema tomorrow. 6. Filip went abroad over the summer holidays. 7. Reem occasionally rides her bike to school. 8. “Have you eaten enough?” asked Ian. 9. “He deliberately ruined my project to make his look better!” cried Angela. 10. “Did you have a chance to fix my car yet?” Mariam asked the mechanic.
