A short adverbs check for Year 3, with the questions on one page and the key on page 2. Pupils underline the adverb in four sentences, add -ly to soft, happy, gentle and brave, and sort tomorrow, quietly and outside into how, when and where. They then write a sentence that starts with an adverb and tick the adverb from kind, kindly and kindness. It follows England National Curriculum grammar and spelling for Years 3 and 4.
