Need to find the Adverbs in each sentence.
1. Native Americans originally developed lacrosse. Adverb=originally
2. It was first played by the Iroquois. Adverb=first
3. It was played differently than it is played today. Adverb=differently
4. It was frequently a rough game.
Adeverb= frequently
5. Hundreds of players faced each other bravely. Adverb=faced
6. They felt badly when they lost.
Adverb=badly
7. They played the games outside. Adverb=played
8. The players spent all day there. Adverb=spent
9. Sometimes the game continued for day. Adverb continued
10. Later lacrosse changes. Adverb=changes
11. Canadians partially changed
the stick and the net. Adverb=partially
12. Lacrosse is a game that is still frequently played by many. Adverb=frequently
13. The audience cheers excitedly when someone makes a goal. Adverb=excitedly
14. At the end of the game, the players often rest. Adverb=rest
15.. The winners are warmly congratulated. Adverb= warmly
Fine until you get to 7. Then you start confusing verbs with adverbs.
7. They played the games outside. Adverb=played
no, outside
played is a verb
8. The players spent all day there. Adverb=spent
no, spent is verb, there describes verb, is adverb.
9. Sometimes the game continued for day. Adverb continued
no, continued is verb, what the game did.
Sometimes describes verb.
To tell try replacing with an ly ending
For example:
Happily the game continued for days.
10. Later lacrosse changes. Adverb=changes
Awk ! changes is verb
Try replacing Later with happily.
See? Later is the adverb.
11. Canadians partially changed
the stick and the net. Adverb=partially
Yes, yes, if it ends in ly you get it, so try my ly trick on others.
12. Lacrosse is a game that is still frequently played by many. Adverb=frequently
Yes
13. The audience cheers excitedly when someone makes a goal. Adverb=excitedly
14. At the end of the game, the players often rest. Adverb=rest
try -- the players "happily " rest.
It works, so I claim that "often" is the adverb
Here rst is the verb, what they are doing, the action (or in this case inaction)
15.. The winners are warmly congratulated. Adverb= warmly
Yes
5. Hundreds of players faced each other bravely. Adverb=faced
Nope, bravely
Incorrect: 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14 (many of these are verbs, not adverbs)
Additional adverbs in 3, 12
Remember that adverbs tell WHERE, WHEN, HOW, etc. Look up words in a good dictionary to find their parts of speech.

Great job in identifying the adverbs in each sentence! It seems like you understand the concept of adverbs and how to find them in a sentence. Just to clarify, an adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It often answers questions such as how, when, where, or to what extent.
To identify adverbs in a sentence, you can look for words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs can usually be identified by their -ly ending, but there are also many adverbs that do not end in -ly. Here are some strategies to help you find adverbs in a sentence:
1. Look for words ending in -ly: These words often indicate an adverb, such as "quickly," "happily," or "loudly."
2. Identify words that answer how, when, where, or to what extent: Adverbs often provide additional information about the verb, adjective, or adverb in the sentence. For example, in the sentence "He walks slowly," the adverb "slowly" answers the question of how he walks.
3. Pay attention to words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs: Adverbs can modify or describe verbs, such as "play," "rest," or "walk." They can also modify adjectives, such as "rough" or "brave," and other adverbs, such as "frequently" or "originally."
By following these strategies, you'll be able to identify adverbs more easily in sentences. Keep practicing, and you'll become more skilled at recognizing and understanding different types of adverbs!
