Preface IMAX partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning. IMAX presents the latest version of the Alpine series – updated and revised after considering the perceptive feedback and comments shared by our experienced reviewers and users. Designed specifically for state board schools, the Alpine series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the State Curriculum Framework and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005. Therefore, our books strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. NCF 2005 asserts that listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW) are all generalised skills, and students’ mastery over them is key to success at school. All these skills frequently need to be used together. Therefore, the Alpine English textbooks and workbooks strive to provide adequate opportunities for students to practise all the four LSRW skills. To this effect, the Alpine English textbooks and workbooks for state board schools offer the following features: Themes recommended by the NCF across grades 1–5 in the literature pieces Samples of Indian writing in English as well as popular English literature pieces from western countries P ictures for word meanings in each lesson to help students with visual clues for new or difficult words N on-detailed lessons to enable additional reading A speaking project and two reading comprehension passages in each unit to further hone speaking and reading skills H orizontal and vertical progression across grades for the grammar concepts covered in the workbooks, providing a spiral of cumulative learning Samples of format-based writing to provide for scaffolding of learning of formal writing Overall, the IMAX Alpine English textbooks, workbooks and teacher companion books aim to generate greater engagement with and enhance fluency in English language communication and empower students to develop a genuine appreciation of the language and its literature. – The Authors NR_BGM_181010027-Alpine-G3-Workbook-English-Part2_Text.pdf 2 1/25/2018 10:59:08 AM

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 given sentences. One is done for you. 1) Babloo looked at the broken toy sadly . 2) Mayur jumped into the clear pond quickly. 3) The lion roared loudly at the small mouse. 4) It rained heavily in the little town. 5) Dhiraj picked up the brown leaves slowly. 6) The man lives peacefully in the beautiful mountains.

___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 in 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 to show belonging is to add -’s to a singular noun. Let us look at a few examples. Rita’s new shoes Fred’s house Ali’s guitar (the new shoes that (the house that belongs (the guitar that belong to Rita) to Fred) belongs to Ali) Finding the Man-cub 11 NR_BGM_181010027-Alpine-G3-Workbook-English-Part2_Text.pdf 15 1/25/2018 10:59:08 AM

• In the first sentence, ‘cold’ is an adjective that simply describes the weather of Delhi during winter. • In the second sentence, the adjective ‘colder’ compares the weather of Shimla and Delhi during winter. • In the third sentence, the adjective ‘coldest’ is used to compare the weather of Delhi, Shimla and Leh during winter. 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 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 • T his is the comparative degree of an adjective. It is used while coldest comparing two nouns/pronouns. • We can make the comparative degree by simply adding ‘-er’ to an adjective. Examples: cleverer, taller, smaller. • The word ‘than’ is also used during comparison. Example: Ramu is taller than Mohan. • 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, tallest, smallest • We 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. It also compares one person or thing in a group to the other people or things in the group. Example: The population of China is the largest among all the countries in the world.

Language in Use Tenses Meet Siya and read her story. Hi! I am Siya. I live in Chennai, and I study in Class 3. I love to read, swim and travel. We travelled to Bengaluru last month. I went with my parents and my younger brother. Bengaluru is a beautiful city. During our stay, we visited many historical places and gardens. During our next vacation, we will go to Delhi. My grandparents live in Delhi. Together, we will travel to Shimla. Isn’t that exciting? Notice that Siya is talking about actions that happen every day, actions that have taken place earlier (in the past) and actions that will take place later (in the future). Just like Siya, when we talk, we refer to the present time, the time in the past and the time in the future. In other words, we use tenses.
