IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

I. Introduction (Time Frame: 3 minutes)
Composing clear and coherent sentences using grammatical structure is one of the important skills that a kid like you
should know and develop.
An adverb is a part of speech that provides description to a verb, an adjective, and another adverb. Adverbs of
manner, time, and place are other types of adverb. They answer questions how, when, and where. They help us add detail to
our sentences.

Let us read and study the sentences below.

He patiently spent the whole night trying to prevent the flow of water from the dike.
My family decided to have lunch at the beach
They were at the museum yesterday.

How. did he spend the whole night to prevent the flow of water from the dike?
Where did my family decide to have lunch?
When did they go to the museum?
Notice the highlighted words in each sentence. They are examples of adverbs of manner, place, and time.
After going through this lesson, you are expected to compose clear and coherent sentences using appropriate
grammatical structures: adverbs of manner, place, and time.
D. Development (Time Frame: 20 minutes)
Let’s read the selection.
It is Sunday morning, Lhiana woke up early because today is her birthday. She’s so excited because their family
will go somewhere. They happily prepared foods and packed all the stuff needed for the trip. They put them inside their
bags carefully and checked if they didn’t forget anything. They waited patiently for some of her cousins before they go.
Here they are! Mother exclaimed when she saw Cassie and Aryah coming.
At exactly 9:00 o’clock in the morning, they left home. They ride in a van. Lhiana quickly sits beside Aryah
because they love chatting and they missed each other so much. After thirty minutes of travelling, they are now in Munting
Talao-Talao Beach Resort, one of the newly developed resorts in Lucena City. They look around and see the beauty of the
place. They swim, eat, and play. They had so much fun. They really enjoyed their stay in that resort.
They went back home with a smile on their faces. Spending the day with family and loved ones is the best. For
Lhiana, it’s the happiest birthday indeed!

3. Their family will go somewhere. (Somewhere tells where they will go)

and inside tells where they put them)

6. Lhiana quickly sits beside Aryah. (Quickly describes how Lhiana sits beside Aryah, and beside tells where she sits)

What can you say about the highlighted words in each sentence? Right! They tell time, place and how the action is done.
Adverbs of Manner describe how the action is carried out in the sentence. We form adverbs of manner by adding -ly to
adjectives. Others, however, do not end in -ly.
Here are some rules in forming adverbs of manner
Rule #1
Adverbs of manner are formed by adding -ly to the adjectives.
Examples:
brave – bravely strong – strongly sad – sadly
Jenny went home sadly after hearing the news.
Rule #2
When the adjective ends in -y, change -y to -i and add -ly
Examples:
busy – busily lazy – lazily hungry – hungrily
The branches swayed lazily in the cold breeze.
Rule #3
When the adjective ends in –l, add -ly
Examples:
careful – carefully peaceful – peacefully dreadful – dreadfully
Sometimes, I am dreadfully sorry for her.
Rule #4
When the adjective ends with -le, remove the -e and add -y
Examples:
understandable – understandably terrible – terribly humble – humbly
David is understandably reluctant to talk about his problems.
Rule #5
Some adverbs do not end in -ly. They look the same as their adjective counterpart. The distinction between the use of
these words will defend on what is being described. For example, if nouns are described by the words fast, well or straight they
are therefore used as adjectives. However, if these words described a verb, they are therefore considered adverbs.
Examples:
fast – fast well – well straight – straight
You need to run fast if you don’t want to miss the bus. (Fast describes the verb run therefore, it is used as adverb)
Carlo is a fast runner. (Fast describes the noun Carlo therefore, it is used as adjective)
Adverbs of manner are usually placed either after the main verb or after the object. It cannot be placed between a
verb and its direct object.
INCORRECT: She ate greedily the pizza.
CORRECT: She ate the pizza greedily.
CORRECT: She greedily ate the pizza.
Adverbs of Place tell where something is done. They also indicate both location and movement. These may be one-word
adverbs or adverbial phrases.
