The Adverb Sentence:

Adverbs describe verbs. e.g Surprisingly, Confusingly, Firstly, Remarkably, Oftenly.

Adverb sentence starters add interest or intrigue to our work.

Remember the rule: When you start a sentence with an adverb, place a comma after the adverb then write the rest of the sentence.


Examples: Accidentally, Shockingly, Concerningly, Excitedly, Significantly, Similarly, Simply.

  • Shockingly, my team was able to score 20 times in a row.

The Preposition Sentence:

Examples - In, Against, Between, Over, Behind, Within, Below, At, Throughout, Near, About.

A preposition gives location or movement.

Remember the rule: When, you start the sentence with a preposition, you need to put a comma when the movement or position ends.
