Grammar: Verbs is one episode in our six-part series using grammar foundations in a fun way. See more videos in the series below:
Contractions
Discover what contractions are, the rules of creating them, and the role that apostrophes play to signal missing letters. Students will also discover that contractions are part of informal language and create a casual tone – which wouldn’t be suitable in their letter to the mayor!
Adverbs
This short video outlines what adverbs are and the four different types – how, where, when, and how often. Through the use of a simple card game, students will discover how adverbs can add more information to a verb, and how to identify adverbs in writing.
Nouns
Let’s dive into Vito’s dream to investigate the different types of nouns – common nouns, proper nouns, and pronouns – and how they represent peoples, places, objects, and ideas. Students will also learn to recognize that capital letters signal proper nouns and how to recognize the different nouns in their writing.
Conjunctions
Explore the power of conjunctions and how they can combine clauses into compound sentences for more interesting and cohesive writing. Common coordinating and subordinating conjunctions such as “and”, “but”, “so”, “or”, and “because” are featured in this video, with plenty of other examples mentioned.
Adjectives
This video investigates five different types of adjectives—possessive, describing, numbering, classifying, and comparing adjectives. Students will learn how make writing more expressive, and how they can expand simple noun groups into more descriptive ones!
