Spanish Teaching Resources. Adverbs PowerPoint Presentation

This presentation elicits the formation of various adverbs in Spanish including the irregular mal and bien.

The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new grammar: working in pairs/teams, using their prior knowledge and knowledge of other languages to figure out the meanings:

All: In pairs/groups translate the sentences.
Most: Figure out how the rules to make adverbs from adjectives (in brackets).
Some: Which are the irregular adverbs (which don’t follow a pattern)? Come up with clever ways to remember the rules and the irregular adverbs.
Me levanto, me ducho y me visto rápidamente (rápido).
Normalmente cocino (normal).
Desafortunadamente tenemos un examen (desafortunado).
Juego bien al fútbol (bueno).
Toco la guitarra muy mal (malo).


Use the following slides to elicit the translation, the rule and to drill. There is a recap slide and a final slide of the new phrases.
