The document provides instructions and examples for identifying adverbs in sentences. It asks the reader to circle adverbs in a sample paragraph, then provides questions to determine if a word is describing how, when, or where (adverb) or describing a noun (adjective). Multiple choice questions are provided to test identifying adverbs, such as "nicely" and "soon" as adverbs, but not words like "the" or nouns as adverbs. Practice sentences are also included to distinguish between adjectives and adverbs.

2. I Adverb Search. Read the paragraph. Circle all of the
adverbs. Write the adverbs on the lines below.
Today I helped my mom cook dinner. We carefully cut the
vegetables and slowly placed them into a boiling pot of
water. Next, mom quickly browned the chicken and
patiently let it cook through. I eagerly waited for my next
job, which was to gently sprinkle spices into the soup. But, I
accidentally poured in too much cumin. I quietly told my
mom my mistake, and she sweetly told me, as a child, she
had coincidently made the same mistake.

3. II

4. III Decide what is the question to the adverb: HOW-
WHEN - WHERE.

5. IV Adverb or Adjective? Complete the sentence using an adjective or adverb.

beautiful + ly = beautifully (adverb)
