Year 3 – Spring Block 1 – Adverbs – Using Adverbs to Express Time

Notes and Guidance

• Once children can recognise adverbs, they need to move on to using adverbs in their sentences.

• This step focuses specifically on adverbs to express time, for example: then, next, soon.

• An adverb of time provides more information about when a verb takes place, for example: We always

travel by train.

• Adverbs of time are usually positioned at the start or end of a sentence; using it at the start of the sentence

usually indicates that this is of particular importance.

• Children should be able to use adverbs of time in their writing and explain why they have chosen a specific

adverb to describe the verb in that sentence.

Focused Questions

• What adverbs can be used to describe time?

• Which word is the adverb of time in this sentence?

• Explain how moving the adverb to the start of the sentence affects the meaning.
