Adverb Adventure

Worksheet Description

This worksheet invites students to explore the transformation of adjectives and verbs into adverbs using the suffix “-ly.” It presents a list of root words that vary in character and asks the learners to modify them by adding “-ly,” thereby creating new words. Students are then challenged to enhance their understanding by constructing sentences that effectively use these new adverbs. The activity is a hands-on approach to discovering how suffixes can change the grammatical function of a word in the context of a sentence.

The aim of this worksheet is to teach students how to form adverbs from adjectives and verbs by appending the suffix “-ly.” It highlights the morphological change that occurs when “-ly” is added, shifting a word’s role to describe the manner in which an action is performed. Students practice not only the formation of adverbs but also their practical application in sentence construction, enhancing both their grammar and composition skills. By doing so, it bolsters their ability to express actions more precisely and expands their vocabulary.
