Last month, we finished up our cooking vocabulary and imperative grammar lessons with the
most appropriate holiday of all--Thanksgiving!!! Levels 1-4 came together, bringing
scrumptious dishes from around the world to celebrate. Our classroom was
filled to the brim with
students and family members who came to share in this
American tradition. There were
Haitian, Mexican, Colombian, El Salvadorean, and
Chinese foods, as well as the
traditional staples of turkey and dressing, made by our own
wonderful Diana! Everyone ate
happily, as we discussed upcoming plans for the
holiday season. We finished the festivities with a
group picture--everyone
happy, smiling, and full!!
Now we have begun to study the use of adjectives and adverbs in our speech. Notice the words in bold. Are they adjectives, or adverbs??
Adjectives: describe nouns by telling which one, what kind or how many. Often an adjective comes directly before the noun it describes. However, an adjective can also come after the noun it describes.
Adverbs: describe verbs by telling how, when or where. Often an adverb comes directly after the verb it describes. However, it can also come somewhere else in a sentence.
In the comment box below, can you describe your holiday plans using adjectives and adverbs?

I wonder what was the best dish that day. I see it was a huge party! I missed it though. I won't missed the next one on Dec. 18th: Christmas Party!
