On April 5, all classes selected tortuously as their word of the week. What a coincidence! When we looked up the word tortuously, we learned that it means "with twists and turns." It is an adverb, which means it is used to describe an action (verb). If we want to make it an adjective, we can remove the -ly suffix to create the word tortuous.
Here are the sentences our classes created using the word tortuously:
1. The snake slid tortuously across the field.
2. The rollercoaster train turned tortuously through the loops.
3. Gymnasts tumble tortuously on the mat.
4. Inflatable Cletus flails tortuously.
