形容词与副词的区别

Description

Use adjectives and adverbs correctly, choosing between them depending on whether a noun or verb/adjective is being modified (e.g., 'She ran quickly' vs 'She is quick')

Mastery Evidence

✓ Choose the correct form: 'The dog is (slow/slowly)' vs 'The dog walks (slow/slowly)'
✓ Identify whether a word is modifying a noun (adjective) or a verb (adverb) in a given sentence
✓ Expand sentences by adding both an adjective and an adverb: 'The tall boy ran quickly'

Assessment Prompt

If your child writes "she ran quick" instead of "she ran quickly", can they spot that they need an adverb to describe the running — and fix it themselves?
