Adverbs

We have been working with and reviewing adverbs.  The students in our class are finding the term "part of speech" new.  This term refers to the role that a word plays in a sentence.  They should already know:  concrete noun (proper and common), verb, helping verb, adjective, and adverb.  We have begun to discuss a new type of noun:  abstract noun (also known as an idea).  Freedom, wisdom, vacation, loyalty, patience, etc., are examples of abstract nouns.  Find out how many your child can name for you!
