This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and due on Thursday 24 October 2019.
We have been learning how to use adverbs in our writing to add more detail.
Adverbs add description to the verb in the sentence; they can add more information about how, when or where.
We would like you to add adverbs to the 5 following sentences to create a better, more improved sentence with the use of an adverb. Choose adverbs from the list, or use some of your own.
Think about where the adverb would fit best into the sentence. Remember to use a comma if you add an adverb to the front of a sentence.
Here are some examples:
e.g. The birds chirped.
- The birds chirped peacefully. (how)
- The birds chirped in the branches. (where)
- At dawn, the birds chirped. (when)
- In the morning, the birds chirped happily. (when and how)
- A player shot into an open goal.
- The princess cried because she was lost.
- James coughed to attract attention.
- She spoke to the child.
- Mum ate the chocolate.
