Shifting Shades Answer Key

Students rewrite each sentence by changing bad to badly or badly to bad depending on what makes the sentence grammatically correct. The worksheet highlights how a small shift between adjective and adverb can significantly change the tone or meaning of a sentence. This helps learners develop precision in word choice and understand the impact grammar has on communication. The activity promotes critical thinking and strengthens revision skills.
