Adverbs in dialogue

When we speak we can say things in many different ways. When writing stories, we
need to show how the different characters speak. The word said doesnt tell us very
much about how the sentence is spoken. By changing the verb said we can add more
detail, for example:

Im going out, said Rebecca.

Or Im going out! exclaimed Rebecca.
We can give even more detail by describing the verb (e.g. said, exclaimed, shouted,
answered etc). To do this we use an adverb in our sentence, for example:

Im going out! exclaimed Rebecca angrily.

Many adverbs end in ly. How many can you think of?

more exciting? Try to use a different adverb for each sentence.
