Identify adverbs

  • An adverb is a word that describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
  • It tells us more about how, when, or where something happens.

  • Adverbs of How: Tell how something is done.
  • Example: She danced gracefully.
  • Adverbs of When: Tell when something happens.
  • Example: He will come tomorrow.
  • Adverbs of Where: Tell where something happens.
  • Example: The children played outside.

  • Look for the word that is telling more about the verb.
  • Many adverbs end in -ly, but not all adverbs do.
  • Example: She speaks softly. (softly tells how she speaks)

  • The dog ran quickly (quickly describes how the dog ran).
  • We will leave soon (soon describes when we will leave).
  • They are waiting here (here describes where they are waiting).

  • Adverbs can be placed in different parts of the sentence:
  • At the beginning: Tomorrow, we will go to the park.
  • In the middle: She quickly finished her homework.
  • At the end: The kids played outside.

  • Adverbs often tell how, when, or where an action happens.
  • Many adverbs end in -ly, but not all of them do.
