Adverbs and Adjectives

Homepage

Can you already see the adverbs and adjectives in this meme?
Can you already spot the adjectives and adverbs?

What will we be doing today?
First of all, welcome to today’s online lesson! It will be a bit different from the homework you have gotten until now, but this page will allow you to learn and practice English by yourself. Today we will discuss words that help you identify things in English. When you talk to people, you often use words that describe things, places or other people. For example, sometimes you want to point out a fancy car or a creepy person. These descriptive words are called adjectives. A person can also be very creepy, and in that case we need to use an adverb to describe how creepy someone is. You can be a little creepy, very creepy or extremely creepy. In this lesson we will look at these words through listening exercises that will help you understand their functions! We have a few goals we will be working towards this class:

 

 

De lesdoelen
Aan het einde van deze online les kan ik
.. de hoofdpunten begrijpen van vertrouwde onderwerpen in luisterfragmenten
.. het verschil uitleggen tussen adjectives & adverbs
.. adjectives & adverbs herkennen aan hun vorm
.. adjectives & adverbs gebruiken om het bericht van luisterfragmenten te begrijpen

 

Okay, but where do I start?
Glad you asked! Please start this lesson by turning on the Instruction video on the left that I made especially for this lesson. In the video you will receive further instructions about which exercises you should make and in which order they should be done. In this lesson you are working towards the goals that are stated above and you will show what you've learned today in the Final test and how you experienced this in the survey (de Enquête). I will receive the
results of the test and the required survey
(de verplichte enquête). The test and the survey will be proof that you completed this class.


So, start the Instruction video for the instructions & explanation - and good luck with the exercises and final quiz!

Something you were probably wondering about while
watching the explanation of the video above

Warm-up

De video hieronder duurt maar 3 minuten en gaat over het verbeteren van je vloeiendheid in Engels, 'improving your fluency in English' - oftewel hoe natuurlijk je een taal spreekt. De meesten van jullie spreken al vloeiend Nederlands (Let op he! Niet vloeibaar Nederlands), maar hoe verbeter je dit zo snel mogelijk in het Engels? Let the aliens help you out!

Listen to the video once and fill in the first gap exercise, then you can listen to it again to answer the last two questions.

Bonus exercise

Hieronder heb je een korte oefening met duidelijke voorbeelden van hoe adjectives kunnen switchen naar nouns in de Engelse taal en andersom. Wait: Make sure to watch the video on full screen, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the exercises that pop up while you are watching it!

In this section you can find more memes, videos and songs about adverbs and adjectives. Try scrolling through them for extra info! It can be very helpful. After you are done looking around, you can make the Final Test and fill in the survey at the Enquête section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This video below is a perfect recap for what you learned today with a little extra information about adjectives. They also sing about nouns, verbs and adverbs! I dare you to say this song is not the coolest grammar song that you've ever heard!
