Adverbs homework
Read the following story. Circle every single-word adverb the author uses. Remember that
adverbs can modify a verb or adjective, or they can show comparison. There are 35 adverbs in this text for you to find.
The Main Street Library closed for the day on the evening of December 8th. On that
night the security guard did not check between every shelf carefully. When he left, he
switched off the lights and eagerly bolted the door behind him. He did not know that Andy
Fiddel was sitting in the science section of the library.
When the library became dark, Andy slowly closed his science book. He headed
downstairs, but the security guard was completely gone by the time Andy reached the lobby.
Being only a young boy of eight years old, he didn’t quite know what to do. For a few
minutes he pounded furiously on the locked door and yelled loudly. But the cars outside
passed by quickly, and they couldn’t hear him. After a moment he became very bored with
this useless activity. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He thought he could
happily spend hours here!
He easily found the light switch, then returned to his book. He finished it rapidly and
moved to the next book. He read about leeches, lizards, and other fantastically creepy
creatures. He carefully read Shakespeare’s beautifully written sonnets. He read excitedly,
then greedily, then hungrily. He read faster and faster and blinked less and less frequently.
His red eyes ached and his empty stomach complained loudly.
He was totally involved in a book about American history when he suddenly heard a
voice ring through the library. A friend of the library manager had noticed the lights in the
library. She phoned the manager promptly. The manager now called to Andy. Andy began
explaining that he was there accidentally. His parents arrived, running eagerly through the
door. He soon explained everything, and they finally went home.
