Adverbs

Today's plan

• Adverbs
  
  
• Goal 1: I can form and place adverbs in a sentence.

Adverb how to

An adverb says HOW something is done.

Example: The boy talks loudly.

An adverb is made by placing ly  after the adjective.

Careful! If a word ends on a y it becomes an i.
Example: pretty-prettily

Transform into an adverb:
Smart

Transform into an adverb:
Spooky

Transform into an adverb:
Easy

But where does it go?

• before the word it says something about
  Example: He loudly interrupted the teacher.
• before the main verb (hoofdwerkwoord)
  Example: She has just given me a great idea.
• after  a form of to be (am/are/is)
  Example: They are normally on time.

Place the adverb and write down the complete sentence:
He is anti-litter. (totally)

Place the adverb and write down the complete sentence:
I touched the dog on its head. (lightly)

PLace the adverb and write down the complete sentence:
My students have cheated on an exam. (never)

Were there any weird adverbs in the exercises? If yes, write down which ones.
