Unit 4

In Unit 4 we learn how to describe things using possessive pronouns that answer the question (Whose is this?) and adverbs that answer the question (How did you do this?)  For example:  The blue jumper is mine.  The red one is yours.  Walk slowly down the corridor, but run fast when you play football! 

Let´s start by learning some vocabulary that goes along with the dialogue on page 30 in our text.

TEAM

JACKET

TRAINERS

TROPHY

PLAYER

KICK

SCORE A GOAL

RACKET

RUCKSACK

WIN (WON)






Posessive Pronouns tell us who something belongs to.  They answer the question "Whose is it?" 

Posessive Adjectives                                Possessive pronouns

It´s my jacket.                                            It´s mine.

They´re your trainers.                                 They´re yours.

It´s his racket.                                            It´s his.

It´s her water bottle.                                   The water bottle is hers.

They´re our trophies.                                 They´re ours.

It´s their rucksack.                                     The rucksack is theirs.

ADVERBS

We also learned about adverbs.  Just as we use adjectives to describe nouns (person/place/thing), we use adverbs to describe verbs (actions). 

Adjective                            Example            Change                Adverbs

most adjective                          slow                 + -ly                    slowly

ends consonant + -y               healthy              + -ily                     healthily

Some adverbs are irregular.  Good changes to well and fast becomes fast.

We put adverbs at the end of a sentence or after a verb.  

He runs slowly.  She walks fast. 

Adverbs answer the question "How did they do it?"

How did he run?  He ran slowly.

How did she walk?  She walked fast. 

Here´s a fun game to practice adjectives and adverbs.  Remember these are the words that describe!!!
