Identify adverbs

πŸ‘‰ An adverb is a word that tells us more about a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

πŸ‘‰ It shows how, when, where, or how often something happens.

πŸ’‘ Example:

  • She sings sweetly. 🎀✨ (How does she sing?)
  • He came yesterday. πŸ—“οΈ (When did he come?)
  • The cat slept outside. 🐈🏑 (Where did the cat sleep?)

πŸ‘‰ Tell how something is done.

πŸ’‘ Examples: quickly πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨, slowly 🐒, happily πŸ˜€, sadly 😒

  • She ran quickly. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¨

πŸ‘‰ Tell when something happens.

πŸ’‘ Examples: today 🌞, now ⏰, yesterday πŸ“…, later πŸ•‘

  • I will call you later. πŸ“ž

πŸ‘‰ Tell where something happens.

πŸ’‘ Examples: here πŸ‘ˆ, there πŸ‘‰, outside 🏑, upstairs 🏒

  • The children are playing outside. ⚽🏑

πŸ‘‰ Tell how often something happens.

πŸ’‘ Examples: always 🌟, often 😊, sometimes πŸ€”, never 🚫

  • She always brushes her teeth. πŸͺ₯😁

✨ Look for words that answer:

  • How? πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¨ (slowly, happily)
  • When? πŸ•’ (yesterday, now)
  • Where? 🌍 (here, outside)
  • How often? πŸ”„ (always, sometimes)

⚑ Many adverbs end with -ly πŸ“ (but not all!).

  • quickly, slowly, loudly 🎢

🌟 Can you find the adverb in these sentences?

  1. The dog barked loudly. πŸ•πŸ”Š
  2. We will go shopping tomorrow. πŸ›οΈπŸ—“οΈ
  3. Birds fly high in the sky. 🐦☁️
  4. She often visits her grandma. πŸ‘΅β€οΈ
  • Adverbs = add more meaning to actions or descriptions βœ¨πŸ’‘
  • They make your sentences interesting and clear πŸŽ¨πŸ“š.
