Spelling Tip
It will be easier to remember how compound words are spelled if you recognize the two separate words it contains. For example, breakfast is made up of the words break and fast. Remembering the spelling of the two separate words is less difficult than trying to remember the spelling of the whole word. |

2. a. Underline the two words in the literature passage that have the suffix -ly. The suffix -ly usually means like or manner of and often changes words into adverbs. Add this suffix to your list. Write "usually an adverb" under the part of speech, then fill in the definition and word examples.
b. Adverbs are words that describe a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
Ex: He ran swiftly. - The adverb swiftly describes the verb ran.
The garden was very colorful. - The adverb very describes the adjective colorful.
She drives too slowly. - The adverb too describes the adverb slowly.
Adverbs answer the following questions:
How? When? Where? To what extent? How often?
Find the two adverbs you underlined. What do they describe? What question do they answer? Read the sentence from the literature passage without the adverbs. Notice how the adverbs help you to picture the action that is happening.
