We have been learning about Adverb Phrases. An adverb phrase is a group of words not containing a verb, which tells us how, when or where something has happened. An Adverb Pharse gives the reader a clearer picture of what is happening.
For example;
- The rocket took off in a huge burst of flames.
- Yesterday morning, I planted some seeds.
- The eagle built its nest on the mountain top.
The bold lettering shows the adverb phrases.
Write a sentence including an adverb phrase as your task this week. Try to highlight the phrase in italics or bold type or use brackets ( ) to show your understanding.
