• If appropriate to your class, tell pupils that all the words in brackets ( sadly , kindly , unhappily ) are adverbs . They tell us how the words are said. Adverbs tell us how an action is done (e.g. slowly, quietly, carefully) and many of them end in ‘ly’. To demonstrate, play a game where pupils are asked to do something (e.g. walk or speak) in the manner of the adverb (e.g. slowly or noisily). • Pause at the end of this page to ask pupils to make predictions . Write their predictions on the board.
