Recognizing Adverbs
"When is your dental appointment?" asked Mom.
     Jean replied,

"_____	_____		_____	_____	_____	_____	____		_____	_____	_____	_____	_____!"
3	1		8	9	7	4	10		5	11	6	12	2

     To learn what Jean said, decide which of the four underlined words in each sentence is an adverb. Then place the first letter of your choice in the space above with the same number. (Remember that adverbs answer the questions "how," "when,"and  "where.")
