Development of the Lesson
Presentation

.1
*Say, "As we have learned from the past lesson, adjectives describe nouns.
*We also need some words to describe verbs. The words that describe verbs are called
adverbs."
*Ask the Pupils: What do you notice about the word adverb? (It has the word verb in
it.) This is because it describes verbs.
*An adverb tells us more about the verb it describes.
*Explain, we add "ly" to an adjective to form an adverb, e.g. nice, nicely. If the
adjective ends in "y", we remove the "y" and add "ily" (e.g. happy, happily).
*Give more examples (lucky, luckily).
*We have different types of adverbs, but we will only study one type today. It is called
"Adverbs of manner" (write it on the board).
*Explain to pupils that adverbs of manner tell us how something is done or how
someone does something. They usually come after the verbs they describe.
*Write some examples on the board.
How does Mohamed sit?
He sits nicely.
How does Nasser eat?
He eats quietly.
2. Analysis and Discussion:
*Write some adverbs on the board. (Ask students to offer some adverbs with your help
and list them on the board, e.g. slowly etc.)
*Help students compose sentences using these adverbs. The teacher uses an adverb in
a sentence as a model
Ex. The tortoise walks slowly.,
*then asks the students to orally compose sentences using other adverbs.
Underline the adverbs in each sentence (or write them in a different color).

Generalization
1. An Adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective and another adverb.
2. Adverbs may indicate manner.
3. An adverb of manner tells how an action is done.
The teacher and the students will summarize the lesson:
*Let's look at the objectives of the lesson, today we learned about adverbs. Tell me
what an adverb is and what it describes (an adverb is a word that describes the
verb; it tells us more about the verb).
*Tell me what is an adverb of manner (adverbs of manner tell us how someone
does something or how something is done, it describes the verb).
*How do we change adjectives into adverbs (we add "ly" or" ily")?
*What adverbs can we form using the adjectives angry and beautiful (angrily,
beautifully)?
*Tell students that they will study in detail other types of adverbs.

C. Post Activities
1. Application:
Activity 1: (Group work)
Students will be divided into two groups. Each group will be provided with 7
adverb cards and 7 adjective cards. Each group should try to match the adverb
with its relevant adjective. The winner is the group that manages to correctly
match all their cards first.
(If they managed to finish the game earlier than the anticipated time, then the
group will swap cards and play the game again).
After the end of this activity, the teacher will collect the cards. Encourage the
students by thanking and praising them.
