Finding Adverbs Activity

Georgia, Anahera and Isla are exploring a rainforest track. Read each clue carefully: an adverb can tell how, when, where or how often an action happens. Some words that end in -ly are not adverbs, and not every adverb ends in -ly.

Spot the adverbs

Read the rainforest log. Find the adverbs in each sentence.

1.Georgia stepped carefully over a wet root. Anahera often listens for birds near the stream. Yesterday, Isla spotted a fantail above the track. The trio waited patiently while a wētā crawled slowly beneath a log.
2.Which word in the log tells how Georgia stepped?
  • wet
  • carefully
  • root
  • track
3.Which three words in the log introduce phrases that tell where something happened?
4.In “Anahera often listens for birds”, what does often tell us?
  • How she listens
  • Where she listens
  • How often she listens
  • When she listened once

Sort the clues

Classify the adverbs by what they tell us. Use each clue once.

5.Match each adverb to its type: carefully, yesterday, there, often.

  • yesterday
  • there
  • often
  • time
  • frequency
  • manner
  • place
