Adverbs modify verbs. That’s easy to remember. Adverbs can also modify adjectives and other adverbs.
Example: That idea is simply ridiculous.
The word “simply” is an adverb that modifies the adjective “ridiculous.”
There is an adverb in each sentence that modifies an adjective. Underline the adverb and write the adjective that it modifies after the sentence. The first one is done for you. Some, but not all of the adjectives are made from verbs (participle adjectives).
