Adverb Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: L.4.1.A
These words and phrases are used to modify and adjust all different types of parts of speech, not just verbs. They can be used and help make your sentences sharper and give the reader a clearer message. When you have an adjective, an adverb, a clause, a phrase, a verb; or even an entire sentence that you would like to add some depth to; that is the job for an adverb. Adverbs are notorious for ending in -ly, but that does not always hold true. This selection of worksheets will introduce to the power of writing and reading adverbs.
