PRE-ADVANCED TEEN 1 – Card 1_01
Unit 1 – ADVERBIALS

Situation: Alice and Jennifer are talking about the test they’ve just done.

Directions: Read the dialogue and identify the adverbials.

Alice: The test was extremely hard, wasn’t it?
Jennifer: Actually, I thought it would be harder.
Alice: But I bet you studied a lot.
Jennifer: I always study as much as you do. The problem is that you got sick and missed
many classes.
Alice: That’s true. I was really sick. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been absent for so many
days.
Jennifer: I know that. You are a very responsible student.
Alice: But I’m a little bit worried about my final grades. I usually get A’s and now I’ll
probably have only C’s. That’s not enough to get in the university I want.
Jennifer: Don’t worry, Alice. I’m sure you went pretty well. In general, teachers are not
that strict when correcting tests.
Alice: I hope you are right. Luckily, Jason was at home on the weekend and he helped
me to study math, which is the most difficult subject for me.
Jennifer: And remember that we have some extra points for that project we did last month.
Alice: Oh, that’s true. I’m much more relieved now.
