Explore the Secret Garden — Adverbs Worksheet 

Take your students for a wander through a bustling city to discover the sensory delight of an urban garden, with this comprehension activity. Students will first read the passage of text, which is a great example of how adverb phrases add interest and extra information to a piece of writing. 

They’ll be challenged to find ten adverb groups within the passage, before answering a total of eleven comprehension questions.

Through this activity students will recognise and identify examples of adverb groups in a completed piece of writing, and become familiar with how they can be used in sentences to add information.
