Free 4th Grade Adverbs: How, When and Where Worksheet

Students learn that adverbs add detail to verbs by telling how, when or where something happens, and that not all adverbs end in -ly. They find adverbs in sentences, sort them by the question they answer, form adverbs from adjectives, and use them in their own writing. Adverbs give students a flexible tool for adding detail without piling on adjectives.
