Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, and whole sentences. We usually make an adverb by adding -ly to an adjective. For example, the adverb of slow is ____. The adverb of successful is ____. The adverb of quick is ____.There are some irregular versions. The most common is the adverb for 'good' which is 'well.' For example, We play tennis ____. We use adverbs to describe ____. For example, 'The child walks ____.' Here, we give extra information to the verb 'walk'. 'She ____ completed the test.' Here, we give extra information to the verb 'completed'. We call these adverbs of manner because they tell us the way someone or something does an action. We use adverbs to describe ____ we do something. For example, I ____ play football with my friends. We call these adverbs of frequency. More examples are always, often, regularly, hardly ever, never. For example, I always brush my teeth every morning. I never forget! The natural position for adverbs of frequency is ____ the verb. We use adverbs to describe ____. For example, Yesterday, the weather was ____ cold. The adjective is ____ and I give it extra description by saying 'extremely'. I am very excited about my new project. The adjective here is ____ and I can give it more information by adding ____. We use adverbs to describe ____! This sounds confusing but actually it's quite simple. For example, 'Daniel plays the guitar very well.' The adverb is ____ and I can give it more information with 'very'. Here's another example. 'The child walks extremely slowly!' The adverb here is ____. He runs incredibly quickly. We use adverbs to describe ____. For example, 'Surprisingly, my father comes from Malta.' ____, describes the whole sentence. We can also give order to events. For example, ____, I would like to mention my family. ____, I would like to thank my friends. ____, I would like to thank myself for being brave!' Many adverbs can go in different places in a sentence. We usually place the adverb ____ the verb. For example. 'She walked slowly into the room' or 'She slowly walked into the room.' I can also put the adverb ____ of the sentence. For example, 'Slowly, she walked into the room', or 'She walked into the room, slowly.' Putting the adverb at the beginning or the end of the sentence adds a ____ because it puts extra importance on the adverb in the sentence. Some adverbs are irregular and don't follow the -ly pattern. For example, the adverb of 'good' is 'well'. For example, 'She cooks ____. Some adverbs are the same word as the adjective, like 'fast'. 'Fastly' does not exist. For example, 'He runs ____.' Another example is 'hard'. The adverb of 'hard' is 'hard'. For example, 'He works very hard.' Some adverbs have different meanings to the adjective. For example, 'late' and 'lately' have different meanings. 'Late' means the opposite of 'early'. For example, 'He arrived ____ to the party'. 'Lately' means 'recently'. For example, ____, I have done a lot of exercise.' Another example is 'hard' and 'hardly'. 'Hard' means 'a lot or strongly' as an adverb. 'Hardly' means 'not much'. For example, She works ____ because she loves her job (she works a lot). The students ____ work because they hate the class. (the student don't work a lot). Some adjectives end in -ly like friendly, ugly, and lovely. When this happens, we can't add another -ly because the pronunciation would be impossible! Instead, we use a phrase 'in a ______ way' or 'in a ________ manner'. For example, 'They greeted us in a ____ manner.' They played with us in a friendly ____. Some words can be adjectives and adverbs such as 'early', 'daily', 'nightly', 'weekly', 'yearly'. I could say, 'I buy the magazine yearly'. In this sentence, 'yearly' describes ____, which is a verb. Or I could say, 'I have a yearly subscription for the magazine.' Here, 'yearly' describes ____ which is a noun. Adverbs can also tell me the location of something or someone. For example, 'Luke is playing upstairs.' In this sentence, ____ tells me the location of the action. Another example is 'You can find bars everywhere in England'. In this sentence ____ is the adverb. Here are some quick exercises for you to try. The book teaches the topic ____. My dog runs ____. ____, I've studied a lot about web design. She speaks ____ ____ ____ ____. She ____ completed the test. The weather in southern Mexico is ____ hot! My friend runs ____ ____. She plays the piano ____ ____. We are ____ amazed by the new museum. My friend works many hours at her job. She really works ____ My friend lost his job because he was always talking on his phone and he ____ worked! ____, my Dad comes from Malta.
