What’s New

Learning about all kinds of adverbs introduces how different adverbs

describe a verb, an adjective or another adverb. However, before we proceed to
our lesson about adverbs, let us first read the story below. Then answer the
comprehension questions in the worksheet provided to show your
understanding of the story.

IS IT GOOD TO BE PROUD? WHY OR WHY NOT?

There was once a King who ruled harshly over the land. One night
after he was crowned as king, he thought of himself as the greatest king on
earth and in heaven.

He often went hunting. One early morning, while in the deep woods,
he decided to cool himself in the lake. He proudly swam away from the
shore. Suddenly there came from the bottom of the lake someone who had the
same face and form as the king. This man quickly put on the King’s clothes
and rode away with the King’s horse. When the proud King finished cooling
himself, he found his clothes and his horse already gone.

With some woven reeds covering his body, he walked to the castle. He
beat loudly at the gate, but he was driven away. He went to the Duke’s hall,
but he was put to prison. Working hard he loosened the chains that bound
his feet and fled away. He went to his palace, but no one recognized him.
Instead he was beaten up and was thrown outside the palace.

The proud King fled away. He wished he was dead. Reaching the
lake where he had bathed, he cried aloud. He asked for forgiveness.
