Grammar Adverbs She ran fast. He spoke angrily. The children played happily. Look at the words ‘fast’, ‘angrily’ and ‘happily’. All of them show how the actions (verbs) were done. These words are also known as adverbs. Adverbs tell us when, where, why or how something happened. Adverbs of manner There are many types of adverbs. The adverb which shows the way or manner in which an action is done is called an adverb of manner. Adverbs of manner answer the question ‘How?’ Examples: Jenny finished her work Rahul drove the car well. Amita sings beautifully. quickly. How did Jenny finish her How did Rahul drive the How does Amita sing? work? quickly car? well beautifully V2_Alpine_English_G3_WB_Part 2.indb 7 The Little Green Engine 7 6/12/2017 1:41:11 PM

Adjectives Adverbs Adjectives Adverbs swift swiftly sudden suddenly quick quickly polite politely Now, it is your turn to make more adverbs from the following adjectives: slow easy neat Remember: How do we identify if a word is an adjective or an adverb? • Adjectives describe or modify nouns or pronouns. Example: The girl is so loud. (‘loud’ is an adjective that describes the girl, a noun) • Adverbs describe or modify a verb or an adjective. Example: The girl spoke loudly. (the adverb ‘loudly’ describes the action of how the girl spoke) Exercise 3.1: Underline the adjectives and circle the adverbs in the sentences below. One is done for you. 1) Babloo looked at the broken toy sadly. 2) Mayur jumped into the clear pond quickly. 8 6/12/2017 1:41:11 PM V2_Alpine_English_G3_WB_Part 2.indb 8

Language in Use Contractions Rewrite the sentences with contractions for the underlined words. There are three pigs in the picture. They are hiding from the wolf. The wolf cannot get in. He will have to wait for the pigs to come out. 10 6/12/2017 1:41:14 PM V2_Alpine_English_G3_WB_Part 2.indb 10
Remember: • In a contraction, we combine two words to form one word. • A contraction is formed by using the apostrophe (‘). An apostrophe shows us where letters are missing from a contracted word. Example: I’ll = I will So, (‘) stands for the letters ‘w’ and ‘i’ which are omitted. Apostrophe for possession Apart from contractions, the apostrophe (‘) is also used to show possession (that something belongs to someone). The most common way is to add -'s to a singular noun to show belonging. Rita’s new shoes. Fred’s house. Ali’s guitar. (The new shoes that (The house that belongs (The guitar that belongs belong to Rita.) to Fred.) to Ali.) The apostrophe is not used for possessive pronouns, such as mine, ours, theirs, his, hers and yours. Correct usage Incorrect usage yours your's hers her's its it's theirs their's mine mine's ours our's V2_Alpine_English_G3_WB_Part 2.indb 11 The Little Green Engine 11 6/12/2017 1:41:15 PM

It also shows which city is the ‘most cold’ among the three. To show comparison, adjectives change their forms. These forms are also known as the degrees of comparison. The three degrees of comparison cold • This is the positive degree of an adjective. It is used when we are describing something/someone and not making a comparison. colder • This is the comparative degree of an adjective. It is used while comparing two nouns/pronouns. • We can make a comparative degree by simply adding ‘-er’ to an adjective. Examples: cleverer, braver, smaller • The word ‘than’ is also used during comparison. Example: Ramu is taller than Mohan. coldest • T his is the superlative degree of an adjective. It is used to compare more than two things. • It can be formed by adding ‘-est’ to the positive degree. Examples: cleverest, bravest, smallest • W e use the word ‘the’ before the superlative degree. Example: Rakesh is the tallest boy in the class. • The word 'among' is used when we compare more than two things or people.
