All about adjectives!

 

Adjectives

Adjectives are used to describe noun. Here's a few that we will focus on:

number	size	shape	colour
two three four	big small large	round long square	black white yellow

We can combine the adjectives to make the nouns more interesting. For example:

The bear The big brown bear

Notice that I start with the size and followed by the colour  of the bear.

Sometimes, we use adjectives to make comparisons

Taken from https://www.theteflacademy.com/blog/2019/02/authentic-ways-to-teach-comparative-adjectives/ 

Sometimes when we want to compare between two things we will add -er to the adjective, followed by the word than. It will look like this:

The boy is tall (er) + than the girl. The boy is taller than the girl.

Uncle Sam's farm.

We will:

1. Read/listen to and understand a story

2. Use singular/plural nouns correctly.

---

 (This lesson is adapted from GetSmart Page 66)

Have you been to a farm before? You can find many kinds of animals in a farm. Greg and Anna go to Uncle Sam's farm. Let's see what is happening.

Have you listened to the story? Plural nouns are nouns that are more than one. Most nouns form their plural by adding s to the word.

Some nouns take es in the plural. For example:

bus - buses dress - dresses box - boxes

Nouns ending in f would take -ves in the plural. For example:

wolf - wolves scarf -scarves leaf -leaves

Some of the nouns take a different name. For example:

tooth -teeth mouse -mice

Now, let's play a game. Can you find the plural nouns? (note that there is one singular noun in the quiz)

How did you do? Did you manage to get the correct answers? Why don't you try and complete this crossword puzzle. Good luck!

A ride in the safari park.

  Have you been to a Safari Park before? It's the place where you can see lots of animals. Can you count their numbers? 

Animals and their names are also nouns. Noun is a person, a place, a thing and even an animal! There are certain rules in using the noun. Before this, we have covered the Proper Noun. Now, let's look at the singular and plural noun.

Singular and Plural Noun.

What are singular and plural nouns? The concept is simple:

Singular means one. Plural means more than one.

In order to make the noun plural, we usually add s, es, or ies.

For example:

one cat    -    two cats a bus   -  two buses a strawberry  -   many strawberries

You can learn more about singular and plural noun through this video:

Now, let's try answering this quiz. Can you get all the answers correct?

Finally, look at the picture below. Try and describe the picture using the singular and plural noun. Good luck!

Past tense.

 Last time, we learned about action verb and verb to be. Now, what if we want to use the verb if we want to talk about the past?

Past tense

Time is very important in the English language. We use present tense to talk about things that we do routinely (always do) and something that is currently happening.

However, if we want to talk about what happened in the past, we may have to slightly change the action words.

Sometimes, we add -d, -ed, or -ied. For example:

smile -> smiled look -> looked cry -> cried (transform the letter 'y' in the word 'cry' into 'i')

Sometimes, we change the word altogether. For example:

is -> was  are -> were    gets -> got  go -> went

When we use a past tense verb, we don't need to add an 's' to a singular verb. For instance:

_________________________________________________

He picks up the pencil on the table. 

He picked up the pencil on the table yesterday.

_________________________________________________

Here's a video that sums it up:

Meanwhile, can you change the bold words below into past tense words?

Patrick is a boy who lives in a small village. One day, he is playing at the playground. Suddenly, a zombie chases him. He tries to run away. However, he gets bitten by the zombie. He turns into a zombie. Then, a radioactive spider gets a chance to bite him. He turns into Spider zombie. As the sun is setting, he could see the full moon. He is surprised that he is transforming into a Spider werezombie!

Now, illustrate your answer!
