Hello! This worksheet will help you understand how adverbs are formed, their types, and their correct place in a sentence. Read each task carefully. Write your answers in the spaces provided. Use a pencil or pen. Good luck!
1 Theory Check: Adverb Formation
Level: Basic
Adverbs are often formed from adjectives. Complete the rules and the table below.
A) The most common way to form an adverb is to add the suffix -ly to an adjective.
Example: quick → quickly
B) If the adjective ends in -y, change y to i and add -ly.
Example: happy → ________
C) If the adjective ends in -le, change -le to -ly.
Example: gentle → ________
D) Some adverbs are irregular (they do not follow the -ly rule).
Example: good → well
| Adjective | Adverb | Rule Applied (A, B, C, or D) |
|---|---|---|
| slow | ________________ | ________________ |
| easy | ________________ | ________________ |
| terrible | ________________ | ________________ |
| fast | ________________ | ________________ |
2 Identify the Type
Level: Basic
Adverbs can tell us how (manner), where (place), when (time), or how often (frequency) an action happens. Read the sentences. Underline the adverb and write its type in the box.
- She sings beautifully.
Type: ________________
- We will go there tomorrow.
Type: ________________
- He exercises daily.
Type: ________________
- The cat is hiding upstairs.
Type: ________________
- They sometimes visit us.
Type: ________________
3 Correct the Order
Level: Intermediate
The usual order of adverbs in a sentence is: Manner - Place - Time. Rearrange the words to create a correct sentence. Write the full sentence on the line.
Example: (to school / walks / she / quickly) → She walks quickly to school.
