Find these words
Not every adverb ends in ly. OFTEN, ALWAYS, and YESTERDAY do the same job as QUICKLY and GENTLY: they tell how, when, where, or how much something happens. That is the part students miss, so this grid mixes the two kinds on purpose. A word find is a quiet way to drill the spelling of CAREFULLY before the sentence work starts.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an adverb and an adjective?
Adjectives describe nouns; adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. A slow train is an adjective at work; a train that moves SLOWLY is an adverb.
Which grade uses this adverbs word search?
Third and fourth grade, where adverbs enter the grammar standards. The words are common enough that the grid also works as a vocabulary sheet for English language learners.
