Types of Adverbs

As with all adverbs, they tell us more about the verb. There are 5 different types of adverbs.

For example, adverbs can describe when (adverbs of time) or where (adverbs of place) something happens.

Adverbs of manner express how something happens by simply adding -ly (in most cases).

Instead of a list of adverbs with examples, let’s examine the 5 different types of adverbs including adverbs of degree, frequency, manner, place, and time.

1. Adverbs of Degree

For adverbs that answer “how much” or to “what extent”, we use adverbs of degree. For example, they usually modify other verbs, adjectives, or adverbs making them stronger or weaker.

These types of adverbs modify adjectives but not the other way around. In other words, adverbs can combine with other adverbs to put more emphasis on the verb. When you use ‘more’, ‘most’, and ‘least’, they can show degree when describing a verb.

ADVERBS OF DEGREE EXAMPLES:

• He’s very good at playing the piano.
• She’s almost always late arriving at school.
• It’s pretty interesting to see the history of China.
• The English test was extremely difficult.
• When he wears his running shoes, he moves more quickly among everyone.

2. Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of frequency express “how often” something takes place. In other words, it explains the intensity of occurrence that an event happens. Adverbs of frequency are usually in this form: Subject + Adverb + Verb

In addition, adverbs like “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly” and “yearly” describe frequency. But these adverbs of frequency answer “how often” in a more specific way.

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY EXAMPLES:

• I usually go to the gym on weekends.
• She always wakes up at 7:00 am.
• The family rarely eats brown rice for dinner.
• I never take sick days.

3. Adverbs of Manner

Adverbs of manner express how something happens. In most cases for adverbs of manner, you can take an adjective and simply add -ly to form an adverb. For example, if you take the sentence – “The cat is quick (adjective).”

Instead of describing a noun, an adverb describes or modifies a verb. In this case, the noun is the word ‘cat’. Because adverbs describe verbs, you need to add a verb in the sentence. For example, you can use the verb “to run” in this form – “The cat runs quickly.”

Adverbs of manner tell us the way or how to do something. However, not all adverbs end with “-ly”. For example, the words ‘fast’ and ‘well’ describe verbs but do not end in “-ly”.

ADVERBS OF MANNER EXAMPLES:

• The cat runs quickly.
• She plays the violin terribly.
• The horse moved fast.
• She plays the piano well.

4. Adverbs of Place

Adverbs of Place describe “where” an action takes place. In addition, we usually find adverbs of place after the main verb.

For example, “indoors”, “next week” and “still” all describe where something happens. Again, we often find these adverbs of place after a verb in a sentence.

ADVERBS OF PLACE EXAMPLES:

• If you want to see the hot air balloon, you will have to go outside.
• When she entered the classroom, she sat down.
• I searched everywhere but I couldn’t find him.
• He walks downstairs to meet his father.

5. Adverbs of Time

As with all adverbs, they tell us more about the verb. For adverbs of time, they tell us when the verb happened or will happen. For example, “afterward”, “every day” and “recently’ are adverbs of time and describe “when”.

On the other hand, adverbs of time can describe the duration of an event that occurs. Also, it can show when an action is complete.

ADVERBS OF TIME EXAMPLES:

• We’ll go to the festival tomorrow.
• Yesterday, we played in the basketball tournament.
• She’ll eventually finish studying and go to university.
• They ate popcorn and watched movies all day.

The 5 Types of Adverbs

As with all adverbs, they tell us more about the verb. For adverbs of time, place, manner, frequency, and degree, we’ve provided examples that we use in everyday English.

All things considered, adverbs are common parts of speech and sentence structure.

Despite the subtle differences between these 5 types of adverbs, let’s hear some adverb examples that you know of.

And if you want to teach adverb types, check out our free adverb worksheets that you can use in your classroom today.

How to Teach Proper Pronunciation

If you are an ESL student, English pronunciation is often difficult to master.

This is because in some languages (especially in Asia), sounds like /TH/ and /R/ simply don’t exist.

A lot of my students have found it helpful to know exactly where to place their tongue and teeth before they learn the sounds of English.

These diagrams will certainly help you improve your English pronunciation. But first, let’s examine the anatomy of the mouth.

The Anatomy of Your Mouth

When speaking in English, it’s helpful to know how native speakers use their mouth. Whether you’re using adjectives/adverbs or putting together sentences with transition words, you’ll use a wide range of sounds of English.

In the diagram below, it displays some of the most common features of a mouth.

If you’re just starting out, you may surprisingly make use of some parts of your mouth you haven’t used before.

For example, certain sounds of English use tongue, teeth, and the roof of your mouth. This can be very foreign for ESL students and often requires a closer look.

/TH/ sound

For the /TH/ sound, your tip of the tongue goes in between your teeth.

/S/ sound

When you use the /S/ sound, your tongue goes behind your teeth and teeth go together.

/L/ sound

For the /L/ sound, your tip of the tongue goes on the roof of your mouth.

/R/ sound

When you use the /R/ sound, your tip of the tongue does not go on the roof of your mouth.

/B/ sound

For the /B/ sound, your lips are together and snap with a small puff of air coming out of your mouth.

/W/ sound

Similar to the /B/ sound, your lips should be full and round. But your lips don’t really touch and curls out as shown in the diagram.

/V/ sound

For the /V/ sound, your top teeth touch your bottom lips when saying the sound.

/Z/ sound

When you use the /Z/ sound, the tip of your tongue is close to the roof of your mouth without actually touching it.

Well, there you have it. These are some of the toughest sounds to pronounce in the English language.

English Pronunciation

For ESL students, English pronunciation needs time and practice to master. With this in mind, you learn these concepts in the zone of proximal development.

These diagrams displayed the anatomy of the mouth for some of the most difficult English pronunciation.

What other English sounds of English would you like to see here? What English pronunciation is troublesome for you?

Brainstorming Activities for Ideas

How can you be more creative? Use our brainstorming activities that can really tickle your creative juices. 

Like all our worksheets, they are 100% free to print off and use. Let’s get you started with 10 of our best.

1. Multi-purpose Items

In the “Multi-purpose Items” game, the teacher starts by showing the class an everyday object, like a fork.

Students then have a few minutes to brainstorm as many different uses for that item as possible. They might suggest using a fork to eat, comb hair, open cans, or mix ingredients.

After about five minutes, everyone shares their creative ideas. It encourages out-of-the-box thinking and improves vocabulary.

2. Rhyme Time

“Rhyme Time” divides the class into groups of four. Hand out worksheets to each group.

Set a timer and challenge teams to come up with as many rhymes as possible. The group with the most rhymes wins.

After the game, review the rhymes together. Did you miss any?

3. Talking Timebomb

The teacher picks a topic and starts the music. Students pass a ball. Each says a unique word related to the topic before passing it on. No repeats allowed.

When the music stops, the person holding the ball loses. They might face a challenge, like doing an impromptu speech. But I don’t like putting my students on the spot like that.

4. Compound Words Game Board

Pair up students and give each team a game board and dice. Players roll, move, and write down the word they land on.

As they progress, they create compound words using their collected words.

For example, landing on “BLUE” can match with “PRINT” or “BERRY” for two points. Landing on “FOOT” could match with “PRINT” for another point.

5. Pushy Salesperson

Start by showing a funny infomercial from your home country to set the mood.

Then, demonstrate by trying to sell a silly product to your class. You can really channel your inner pushy salesperson.

Finally, it’s the students’ turn to shine. Give them each an unlikely item to sell, using ideas from the worksheet. Watch as they transform into a salesman.

6. English Shiritori

Shiritori is a fun word chain game that I learned from Japan. Pair up students and start with any word.

The next player must think of a word beginning with the last letter of the previous word. For example, if the first word is “cat,” the next could be “tree,” then “elephant,” and so on.

Players continue building the chain, improving vocabulary and spelling as they go. The game ends when a player can’t think of a connecting word.

7. No Subtitles

Time to try a hilarious speaking activity. Choose an English movie and play it on mute, without subtitles.

Divide the class into pairs and challenge them to become voice-over actors for the characters. 

They’ll need to create dialogue that matches the actors’ lip movements and actions on screen. Just a warning that this is best for advanced classes.

8. Like or Dislike

Each student writes down their loves and hates anonymously. The teacher collects and reads these aloud to the class.

Students then try to guess which classmate each list belongs to. This game adds a personal touch to language learning.

It also encourages students to express preferences and learn about their peers. Get ready for some surprises and laughs.

9. Famous Foreheads

Arrange students in a circle and give each a post-it note. Everyone writes a famous person’s name and passes it left.

Players stick the notes on their foreheads without peeking. Taking turns, students ask yes/no questions to guess their identity.

The first to guess correctly wins. But encourage everyone to keep playing until they figure out their famous person.

10. Cultural Dictionary

Ask each student to write down one culturally significant item from their country. Invite volunteers to share their choices with the class. 

Collect all responses and compile them into a unique “Culture Exchange Dictionary” to keep in the classroom.

You can really promote mutual learning as students share their cultures while learning about others.

Brainstorming Activities for Ideas

If you need some brainstorming activities, then these 10 worksheets will get you half the way there.

Because practice makes perfect, put them into action by printing them off. And then you’ll be 100% the way there.

Have you ever had to brainstorm and think of ideas? Which brainstorming activities did you use?

Reading Comprehension Activities

If you want to get better at reading, then it’s best to pick up a book and start reading!

But if you want some targeted reading comprehension activities, then try out some of the activities below.

While some focus on solving a puzzle, others are short stories where you just need to understand what you’re reading.

Let’s get started.

1. Brother Rivalry Short Story

This is a short story about two brothers who love to compete!

Students have to fill in the blanks with a selection of words at the bottom of the story.

This reading comprehension activity is meant to be done individually.

But you can easily adapt it to a whole classroom setting.

2. Einstein’s Riddle

This is a challenging detective-style activity that is believed to be created by Albert Einstein, himself!

The focus is on reading the clues carefully and using logic to solve the riddle.

But the key is figuring out which clues to use first to fill in the nationality, pet, drink, color, and hobby of each homeowner.

This can be a head-scratcher activity even for the brightest students.

3. Famous Politicians

First, students have to read the names of the 8 famous politicians on the worksheet.

Next, they have to read a brief description of each politician on the right.

After they identify the photo of the politician, they can match the leader’s name with the description.

4. Adverbs of Frequency

This is a reading comprehension activity that practices adverbs of frequency.

In other words, it expresses how often an event occurs.

After reading the sentence, students fill in the adverb of frequency that is true to themselves.

How often do you eat breakfast? How often do you go to the library?

5. Stand-Up Bingo

Stand-Up Bingo gets students moving and asking questions.

Students have to read their bingo sheets and walk around asking questions to their fellow classmates.

Only when the student answers “yes”, they can mark an “X” in the square.

After they get a line in their bingo card, they can sit down at their desk.

6. Occupations Matching

This activity is about reading occupations and their job title definitions.

They have to match all 17 careers with the correct definitions.

From farmers to astronauts, can students find the right job titles?

After students finish the first part of the worksheet, can they think of other job titles? In addition, can they create a definition for the jobs they brainstorm?

7. Linking Verbs

Read all 15 sentences in the worksheet. After reading each sentence, they have to circle the linking verbs.

Linking verbs do not show actions. Instead, they link a subject to a noun or adjective in a sentence.

For example, in the sentence “I feel sick”, the linking verb “feel” connects to the adjective “sick”. And the subject in the sentence is “I”.

8. Timeless Timelines

This is just a quick history lesson for inventions and historical figures.

From paper to the printing press, can students identify the chronological order of these inventions?

From youngest to oldest, can students arrange the timeline according to their birth date?

It’s challenging, but students have to read through each name and invention.

9. Helping Verbs

Students read each sentence carefully. Next, they have to circle the action verb and underline the helping verb.

Generally, we use helping verbs to complement action verbs. For the majority of the time, the helping been goes before the action verb.

For example, in the sentence “he should listen in class” – “should” is the helping verb, and “listen” is the action verb.

10. Detective Clues

In the detective clues activity, students have to read clues and remember what they read.

After they read all the clues, they have to solve the puzzle in the worksheet.

It’s not as challenging as Einstein’s Riddle. But it’s still fun for younger students.

And best of all, they can practice reading comprehension.

Reading Comprehension Activities

These targeted reading comprehension activities are great for classrooms of any size.

They add a bit of fun to reading, challenging students to solve a problem or read a short story.
