Agent Nouns
Many verbs can be changed into ‘Agent Nouns’
 ‘Agent Nouns’ are often people that do a specific
action

ie.

Someone that ‘dances’ is a ‘dancer.’
‘Dancer’ is an Agent Noun.
We are creating a Noun by using a Verb
Agent Nouns: Rules

To change a Verb into an Agent Noun, usually we simply add “er”
ie.

Sometimes, we add “or” or “ar”
ie.

teach = teacher
dance = dancer
act = actor
beg = beggar
For one syllable verbs that end with a single vowel + single
consonant , we double the final consonant
ie.
run = runner
dig = digger
Jobs
What do your family do?
 What do your friends do?

My husband is a…
 My sister is a…
 My friend is a…

Adverbs

Remember:
adjectives?, (fast)
comparative adjectives?, (fast = faster)
and, superlatives? (fast = fastest)

Adverbs describe Verbs (actions). We are describing how someone
does something.
Adverbs use the same base words as adjectives (ie. slow, fast, tall)

Example:
Bill is slow (adjective).
Bill runs slowly (adverb).
Adverbs: Rules
Similar to comparatives & superlatives rules!!! 
1. Most adverbs are formed by adding “ly” to the adjective
(slow = slowly)
(careful = carefully)
2. For adjectives that end in “y,” the “y” changes to an “i” and add “ly”
(lazy = lazily)
3. There are many irregular adverbs
(fast = fast)
(hard = hard)
(good = well)
Associations

Say verbs to match the adverb:

Gracefully
Slowly
Carefully
Carelessly
Fast
Beautifully
Hard
Accurately
Dishonestly

Adverbs: Rules for Comparatives

Similar to rules for comparative adjectives (tall = taller)
1. For one syllable adverbs, add “er”
(fast = faster)
2. For adverbs with three or more syllables, add “more”
(carefully = more carefully)
(accurately = more accurately)
3. Some comparative adverbs have both of the above
forms! 


What are the comparative adverbs?
Give advice to your family and
friends
Mom, you should cook faster.
 Dad, you should drive more carefully.
 Paul, you should teach better!

“If” Clauses

‘If’ we want to talk about the probabilities in the future, we can use

The ‘if’ clause describes a condition:
ie. “If it rains….”

And the main clause describes the results:
ie. “I will watch a movie tonight.”
the word “if.”
(or the negative: “If it doesn’t rain tonight, I’ll go for a walk”)

We can also talk about possibilities, and use the word ‘might’:
ie. “If you work hard, you might get rewarded.”
Samuel’s Chicken Recipe
*Please note: this is a very inexact science! 
1. Pour a quarter of a cup of olive oil (or sesame seed) in a plastic bag
2. Slice one onion and two green/red peppers and place them in the bag
3. Crush 4 cloves of garlic and place them in the bag
4. Sprinkle in some parsley, salt, and any other mixed herbs you desire
5. Add in 4 (or however many you desire) unfrozen chicken breasts
6. Mix and lightly crush all the ingredients in the bag

8. Grill chicken breasts using medium heat for around 4 minutes
9. Flip chicken breast and melt cheese on top

***when cooking chicken breasts, it is VERY important that the chicken is
FULLY cooked. Slice the center to make sure it is NOT pink.***
