Add the Adverb Groups! Worksheet 

This double-sided worksheet requires students to rewrite simple sentences to include adverb phrases. On the first page, they must use the prompt (when, where, how often, how long or how) to think of an adverb phrase and add it to the provided sentence to make it more interesting and give additional detail. On the second page, students add any adverbial phrase to the simple sentence. 

Through completion of this task, students will demonstrate their ability to understand how adverb groups/phrases work in different ways to provide circumstantial details about an activity.

Using these Adverb Groups Worksheets in Your Classroom  

Begin your lesson with a review of what adverb groups (or adverb phrases) are. Check out our Adverbial Phrases Interactive Activity — it’s the perfect resource for a quick refresh!

Set either of the two worksheets, or both, depending on your learners’ literacy level.

Students requiring challenge can be provided with the combination of both worksheets. They can also practise writing additional sentences including adverb groups in their writing books. 

For students requiring additional support, brainstorm or provide a range of different adverbial phrases that could be used under each category on the whiteboard. Cut the worksheet in half so students only have to complete between 2 – 3 sentences.

In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet as a:

• literacy rotation or guided group 
• lesson exit ticket
• fast finisher activity 
• homework task
• whole-class review (via smartboard)
