[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a. it is not a big deal and kids probably do not need to be taught this at 2nd grade - I would rather they spend that time on producing more written, creative work (diary, journal, stories, etc.) [b] b. adverbs are a very messy category of words and can be defined more as what it is not than what it is. The trend is to define adverbs as *not* a verb, noun, adjective, etc[/b] [/quote] I have been reading the [url=http://www.amazon.com/Dearly-Nearly-Insincerely-Adverb-Categorical/dp/1575059193/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1465236182&sr=1-4&keywords=a+mink+a+fink+a+skating+rink]"Words are Categorical"[/url] series with DD (1st grade) since FCPS doesn't teach it. She understands nouns, verbs and adjectives. But adverbs are beyond screwy. I am having trouble explaining it and I was an english major. [/quote]
