1. Here are some adjectives and adverbs.

ADJECTIVE ADVERB

quick quickly slow slowly

easy easily bad badly

2. Adjectives usually describe nouns. We normally use adjectives to talk about people

and things.

EX: She's a QUICK learner.

Joe is a CAREFUL driver.

Adverbs usually describe verbs. We use adverbs to talk about how people do things.

EX: She learns QUICKLY. She drives CAREFULLY.

3. We form most adverbs by adding –ly to an adjective.

EX: slow → slowly clear → clearly poor → poorly

If the adjective ends in –y, change the –y to –i and add –ly.

EX: happy → happily easy → easily

Some adverbs are the same as the adjective.

EX: hard → hard

fast → fast late → late

4. Here is the word order that we normally use with adverbs.

VERB + ADVERB

She swims beautifully.

• Possessive nouns name who or what owns or has something. They can be singular

or plural.

The dogs’ names are Trooper and Sam.

Traci’s dog can do tricks.

• To form the possessive of all singular nouns and plural nouns not ending in s, add

an apostrophe and s.

Sun = sun’s Men = men’s

boss = boss’s

• To form the possessive of plural nouns already ending in s, add only an

apostrophe.

girls = girls’

• An apostrophe is also used to indicate where letters have been left out in a

contraction.

A contraction is a word made by combining two words into one by leaving out one or more letters.

Brad’s the fastest runner in the school.

1. Underline each possessive noun. Above it write S if it is singular and P if it is plural. PPPP

Look at the two sentences. How are they different?

A: It is very hot.

B: It is too hot.

A is a simple statement- It's HOT!

But

B shows some difficulty, like maybe because it is so hot, I feel terrible. Or because it is

so hot, no one is happy.

HERE ARE SOME MORE...

C: Lisa is very tall.

D: Lisa is too tall.

C is a simple statement. Wow! Lisa is a tall girl.

But

D has a negative feeling. Perhaps because Lisa is tall, she hits her head on the ceiling.

Or maybe she is so tall, she can't get a date or has no friends.

SO REMEMBER, USING TOO SHOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SITUATION.
