Syllabus tag: Kenya CBC | Grade 7 English | Theme 6.0 Drug and Substance Abuse | Sub-Strand 6.3.1 Grammar in Use: Word Classes - Adverbs of Time, Place and Manner (2 Lessons)

Lesson objectives

By the end of this topic, you will be able to:

• Identify adverbs of time, place and manner in texts
• Use adverbs of time, place and manner in different contexts
• Acknowledge the value of adverbs in communication

Summary

An adverb typically modifies a verb, telling you more about the action -- most often when (time), where (place), or how (manner) it happened. This topic covers all three types, using texts on drug and substance abuse as the reading material, where precisely describing when, where and how events happen matters for clear factual reporting.
