Conjunctions are used to connect words or sentences.
The words before, after, as, when, while, until and since, are also conjunctions.

An adverb is a word that describes a verb.

The baby is sleeping soundly.
It is raining heavily.
Insert an adverb below into the spaces in the sentences. Only use each adverb once.

Good luck!

How much do you remember about this subject?
For and since are commonly used with the present perfect tense.
We use for to talk about a period of time.
E.g. "I haven't smoked for weeks."
We use since to talk about a specific point in time, or a time when the action started.
English learners sometimes find the structure of asking questions quite difficult to understand.
