This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which introduces the fact that adjectives modify nouns whereas adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. It then goes on to introduce the fact that some words can act as both an adjective and an adverb depending on the word they are modifying in the sentence. The children are given the opportunity to write their own sentences applying this knowledge before taking part in a challenge activity to see whether they can identify whether words are functioning as adjectives or adverbs.
