Transforming Adjectives

Worksheet Description

This worksheet engages students in the process of transforming adjectives and verbs into adverbs by adding the suffix “-ly.” By providing a column of base words, the task requires learners to expand these words into their adverbial forms, which are used to describe actions or other adjectives. The activity is designed with simplicity in mind, allowing students to focus on the task without unnecessary distractions. Each line beckons the student to think about how words change and take on new roles in sentences when the suffix is applied.

The worksheet aims to educate students on the grammatical function of suffixes, specifically the transformation of words into adverbs using “-ly.” Students practice morphological skills by converting a diverse set of words, enhancing their understanding of how words can modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs in English. This activity builds their capacity to recognize and use adverbs in writing and speaking. Additionally, it indirectly prepares them for more complex sentence constructions by providing a foundation in word modification and enrichment.
