Grammar – Adverbs

Adverbs are words used to describe verbs (doing/action words).  We can use adverbs in sentences to explain how the action is being performed.

Eg, The nervous boy jumped hastily over the river.

Most adverbs end in ‘ly’ although there are exceptions to this rule (fast, often etc).  When starting a sentence with an adverb, it should be followed by a comma.

Eg, Frantically, the woman searched her house for her lost keys.

Task – Copy and complete the sentences into your jotter and write 5 new ones.  You may want to try writing sentences with different adverbs.
