This worksheet is about practicing adverbs in the present tense and making requests. Students read, listen and complete the exercises. The worksheet has an answer key.
Adverbs in the Present Tense
| Adverb Type | Explanation | Example Sentence |
|---|---|---|
| Manner Adverbs | Modify verbs by describing how an action is happening. | – Huan sings loudly in the shower. – My cat waits impatiently for his food. – I will seriously consider your suggestion. |
| Frequency Adverbs | Indicate how often an action occurs. | – We arrived early. – Turn here. – I go there often. |
| Time Adverbs | Specify when an action takes place. | – I am working on a new project now. – My father is working in his office at the moment. |
| Degree Adverbs | Intensify or qualify adjectives. | – The lake is quite beautiful. |
Remember that adverbs can also modify adjectives, adding intensity or qualification. However, there is one type of verb that doesn’t mix well with adverbs: linking verbs (e.g., feel, smell, sound). These verbs typically precede adjectives, not adverbs. For example:
- Paz feels badly about what happened. (Incorrect)
- Paz feels bad about what happened. (Correct)
In the correct example, “bad” modifies what Paz feels, while “badly” would imply Paz is bad at feeling things.
