Bad or Badly Fill-Ins

Students read each sentence carefully, underline the verb, and decide whether the correct word is bad or badly. Learners must determine whether the verb expresses a state of being (such as is or feels), in which case bad is used, or an action verb, which requires badly. This worksheet builds students’ understanding of how adjectives and adverbs function within sentences. By analyzing verb types and sentence meaning, students strengthen grammar accuracy and improve distinction between describing feelings and describing actions.
