Adverbs in English

Hi, Guys!,

An adverb is a modifying part of speech. It ususally describes verbs, ohter  adverbs, adjectives, phrases. 

They are used to describre HOW, WHERE, WHEN, HOW OFTEN and WHY something happens. There are different types of adverbs: Adv. of Manner, Place, Frequency, Purpose and Time.
Examples
* It was raining heavily. (adv of Manner)
* I'll see you there! (adv of Place)

* Sometimes, he arrives late. (adv of Freq.)
* She lives in NY to improve her English. (adv of Purpose)
* We'll come back later. (adv of Time)

You can use some adverbs in your compositions, these will become better and enriching.

Now, let's review some Adverbs thanks to Scribd.

EngLiSH SoNgS foR ChiLDreN



Hi, there!,

Some days ago, my cousin asked me If I knew some English songs for Children, because she had a lovely daughter Ann (4), who loved singing, she already knew some since she is at school, but she wanted to know if there were some free songs ready to be downloaded. So, after surfing for a while, I found this web:

http://www.bebesymas.com/infancia/6-videos-y-letras-de-canciones-en-ingles-para-ninos

Although the web is Spanish, all the songs and lyrics are in English. Now, you can watch the videos, read lyrics and if you're a teacher, you can use these resources in class.

Now, my little cousin is pleased and she doesn't stop singing and learning English! ;)

MIME - a fun game to learn English


Hi, TEACHERS!,

Some years ago, I made up this oral game "MIME" to play at the end of the lessons at school , for my adult beginners, ... and they always have fun and learn so much!!! It's very simple and effective for English students.

As you can see in the photo, you have to cut some pieces of cardboard into small pieces.

Then, you as a teacher, choose one semantic field to practise, for example "SportS" or "ProfessionS or JobS". After that, write down one sport or job on one of the sides, and on the other one, you just write "MIME", the name of the game.

Later, ask one of your students to pick up one card. He /she has to mime, he / she can't speak anything, maybe some noises. The other classmates have to raise their hands when they know the answer. Then, the student has to write down the word on the board or spell this for the rest of the students. (Everybody is going to laugh and have a good time, SURE!)

After that, you can pronounce and repeat all the words appeared.

I strongly recommend you to play MIME in class, LeaRNinG EnGLisH iS AlWayS FUN!!! ;)

(I'd be pleased if you told me your experience with this oral game).
