ICE CREAM

3 Language point
We use adverbs to add extra information to verbs in our sentences. There are several different types
of adverb and they can go in different positions in the sentence.

• Some adverbs go in front position, at the beginning of the sentence:

• Today I’m making strawberry ice cream.

The adverb in bold tells us when / how often / how Jerry is making strawberry ice cream.

This type of adverb can also go in another position:

• I started making ice cream last year.

This position is called front / end / mid position.

Read these sentences and decide what other types of adverbs can go in this position.

• I think the best advice I can give is to research your recipe carefully.
• I was living in Cardiff, and I had an office job there.

These adverbs give us information about how and when / where and when / how and where.

Many adverbs go in mid position.

• I’m probably going to try to make a seaweed flavor ice cream next.
• And people usually want to try something new.

1. The first adverb tells us how certain / how often.

2. The second adverb tells us how certain / how often.
3. These adverbs go before / after the main verb.

• It’s always time for ice cream!

If the main verb is to be, the adverb comes before / after it.

ICE CREAM

Sometimes adverbs give us extra information about another type of word.

• That’s really interesting.

• But I got to eat my mistakes, so it wasn’t too bad!
• That’s a very good question.

These adverbs are giving us information about an adjective / verb / noun in the sentence.

Some adverbs are irregular.

• I made a lot of mistakes before I learned how to do it well.

• Find out what other people have already done, and then see if you can do it better.

1. What is the related adjective form for these adverbs?

2. What form is the adverb in the second sentence?
