Right Place, Clear Meaning: Adverb Placement in Sentences for Class 4

This Grade 4 English grammar worksheet builds clear understanding of how adverbs are positioned correctly within sentences to maintain clarity and natural flow. Students learn how adverbs of frequency, manner, and time are placed before main verbs, after helping verbs, or at the end of sentences depending on structure. Through structured, age-appropriate practice, learners strengthen sentence accuracy, fluency, and grammatical confidence.

The worksheet includes multiple skill-building tasks such as multiple-choice selection, choosing correctly ordered phrases, matching adverbs to correct sentence positions, correcting misplaced adverbs, and completing a contextual paragraph. These activities help students recognise incorrect placement, apply correct positioning rules, and understand how adverb placement changes sentence meaning—essential for strong writing and school grammar assessments.
