ADVERBS

Adverb Worksheet
Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs
and sometimes adjectives and other adverbs. They
often answer the questions HOW, WHERE, or
WHEN.
For example:
Even after one year of lessons, Luke plays the
piano badly.
Badly is an adverb that modifies the verb play
and tells us how Luke plays the piano.
The class is very difficult. Many students dont
pass it.
Very is an adverb that modifies the adjective
difficult and tells us how difficult the class is.
Now let's get some practice using adverbs!
