  • Examples: quickly ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ, slowly ๐Ÿข, carefully ๐Ÿคฒ, happily ๐Ÿ˜„
  • Sentence: She ran quickly to catch the bus. ๐ŸšŒ

Image idea: Picture of a child running fast with motion lines and a turtle walking slowly.

  • These adverbs tell us the time of an action.
  • Examples: now ๐Ÿ•’, today ๐ŸŒž, yesterday ๐Ÿ“…, soon โณ
  • Sentence: We will play tomorrow. ๐ŸŽพ

Image idea: Calendar showing today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

  • Ask the question:
    • How? โ†’ check how the action happens
    • When? โ†’ check when the action happens
    • Where? โ†’ check where the action happens
  • Many adverbs end in -ly (quickly, slowly, happily) ๐Ÿ“

  1. Circle the adverb in each sentence:
    • The dog barked loudly. ๐Ÿถ
    • We will eat later. ๐ŸŽ
    • Come here. ๐Ÿ 
  2. Ask: Does it tell how, when, or where?
