10mins - Conversation: Speaking part 1 - Do you use the internet to learn new things? Do you prefer working on your own or with other people?

05mins- Review: Adverbs: Adjectives (happy) tell us about a noun. Adverbs (happily) tell us about a verb, an adjective or another adverb. Adverbs can give us information about time (when?), place (where?), manner (how?), and frequency (how often?). Most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective. (sadly, safely, hopefully). There is a spelling change in adjectives ending in y or able/ible. (angrily, miserably) An adjective ending in -ly (friendly, likely, lively, lonely, lovely, silly, ugly) cannot be made into an adverb. We must use them in an adverbial phrase instead. (He laughed in a silly way. He acted in a friendly way)
05mins - Activity - Give students an adjective and a noun - "happy dog". Challenge the students to see how many adverbs they can think of to describe the phrase. Ex: Happy dog -- 'Always very happy dog,' 'Constantly happy dog,' 'cheerfully happy dog' 'Unbelievably happy dog,' etc. Encourage students to try to make the longest adverb chain possible.
