This quiz takes a further look at adverbs. Adverbs are words that change adjectives and other adverbs, as well as verbs. You will know from the first adverb quiz - and from school - that adverbs can change verbs. But did you know they can also modify other types of words such as adjectives or other adverbs? Many words which we use every day work in this way.

Lots of adverbs end in the letters ‘ly’ but, as you know by now, English isn’t always that straightforward and there are exceptions.

For this quiz, we want you to find the word which isn’t an adverb. It might be helpful to look at each word in turn and put it in the sentence to see if it makes sense. Good luck!
