One of the uses of adverbs is to modify verbs - that is, to tell us
how an action is performed. They often end in '-ly', but not always.
In each of the sentences below, circle the adverb and underline
the verb it's describing. It may be easier to start with the verb.

Sometimes we can try so hard to include adverbs, we don't
always make the best word choices. What's wrong with these
adverb choices and what adverbs would be more suitable? You
may need to look the verbs up (underlined) in a dictionary.
