Is Mom a Fortune Teller?
Ellaine Rose A. Caya

Every Saturday, Mom cooks Ana’s favorite food. Ana likes


eating while sitting on the couch.
“Ana, don’t sit on the couch while eating, your food might spill
on it.”
“Don’t worry mom, I’m holding my food properly.”
A few moments later, Ana’s food spilled on the couch. “Oh
no! My mom’s words came true.”
The next day, it is already late in the evening and Ana is still
watching TV.
“Ana, you should sleep now or you will have a hard time
waking up tomorrow and might be late in your class.” Mom said.
“Don’t worry mom, that won’t happen,” answered Ana.

The next morning Ana really can’t get off from bed because
she’s still sleepy. She is also late for her class. “Hey! Mom’s words
came true again!” Ana tells her mind.
Ana is curious on how her Mom is able to foresee everything
that will happen to her.

2
“Hmmm my mom is really amazing. How did she know those
things would happen to me?

I know! Maybe my mom is a fortune teller! I will ask her.”


Ana came to her mom, “Mom, are you a fortune teller? How
come you know everything that will happen to me?” Ana asked
while eating chocolate.

Ana’s mom laughed. “Dear, I’m not a fortune teller. I just know
the things that might happen to you because I was once a kid like
you. My mom, your Lola, used to tell me those things that I tell you
right now. I’ve learned that mothers know best for their children so
we better listen to our moms”

“Oh, now I understand mom.” Ana answered. “Thank you,


mom, for always guiding me.”

“No problem, dear. Anyway, you should brush your teeth after
eating those chocolates and candies or you will have toothache.”
Mom said to Ana.

“Oh no! I’d better do it mom. I don’t want to be sorry later for
myself.”

From that day on, Ana listened to what her mom told her.

real events, and real people, such as biography or history.

Short stories should be written with its complete elements – character,


setting, conflict, plot, and theme.
Character is a person, or sometimes even an animal, who takes part
in the action of a short story or other literary work.
Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story.
Conflict is opposition and struggle, whether between characters.
Plot is the sequence of events where each affects the next one
through the principle of cause-and-effect.
Theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey — in other
words, the central idea of the story.

The Hare and the Tortoise

There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how


fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the Tortoise
challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered
to watch.
The Hare ran down the road for a while and then paused to
rest. He looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you
expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow,
slow pace?"
The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell
asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax." The Tortoise
walked and walked, never ever stopping until he came to the
finish line.
The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for
Tortoise that they woke up the Hare. The Hare stretched,
yawned, and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise
had already crossed the finish line.

2. The milkfish is bigger than the tilapia.

4. The baseball is smaller than the volleyball.

Notes to the Teacher


Adjectives have three degrees that compare
one thing to another. The three degrees of adjectives
are positive, comparative and superlative. The
comparative and superlative degrees are used to
compare between two or more subjects or objects.

2
Examples:
Positive Comparative Superlative
pretty prettier prettiest
tall taller tallest
big bigger biggest

Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between


the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are
used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun


(object).
Examples:
● My house is larger than hers.
● This box is smaller than the one I lost.
● Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog.

Superlative adjectives
Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object, which is at the
upper or lower limit of a quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest,
the highest). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared
to a group of objects.

Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).


Examples:
● My house is the largest one in our neighborhood.
● This is the smallest box I have ever seen.
● Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race.

3
What’s New

Complete the table below by supplying the correct degree of


adjectives.
Adjective Positive Comparative Superlative
1. tall tall tallest
2. smart smart smarter
3. light light lighter
4. clean cleaner cleanest
5. narrow narrow narrowest

What is It

To form adjectives in comparative degree, we add –er at the end of


the adjective. To form the superlative, we add –est. But adjectives with
three syllables, form their comparative and superlative by adding
more or most before the adjective.
Examples:
POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE
excited more excited most excited
generous more generous most generous
adorable more adorable most adorable

Activity: Write the correct form of adjective for the following


sentences.

1. My apple is (big) ________ than his apple.

2. The giraffe is the (tall) ________ animal in the jungle.

3.
Gina’s hair is (curly) ________ than Karen’s hair.

1. Liam is a ________ boy. (nice)
2. Mary is ________ than her sister. (pretty)
3. The cheetah is the ________ animal in the jungle. (fast)
4. China is a ________ country. (big)
5. Russia is the ________ country in the world. (large)

What I Have Learned

Adjectives describe nouns. There are 3 degrees of adjectives,


positive, comparative and superlative. We add –er or more to form the
comparative degree and add –est and most to form the superlative
degree.

1
Lesson
Recognizing Adverbs of
1 Manner

What’s In

When you were little, your mother tells you how to do things. She
reminds you to be careful with your actions most of the time. Read the
following sentences below. Fill in the blanks with the correct words to

4. She tells me to ask ________ when I need something.
5. I am always reminded to ________ play with my friends.

Notes to the Teacher


An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a
verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even a whole
sentence. Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as
fast) look exactly the same as their adjective
counterparts.

2
What’s New

Look at the pictures below. Which adverb of manner describes each of


them?

run ________ sing ________ dance ________

walk ________ cough ________

What is It

Adverbs of manner tell us how something happens. How do you


recognize adverbs of manner?
Adverbs of manner are typically located:
a. Immediately before the main verb. He quickly drank the
water.
b. Immediately after the main verb. I laughed nervously.
The adverb is formed by putting -ly after an adjective
Ex: happy (adjective) happily (adverb)
beautiful (adjective) beautifully (adverb)

3
If the main verb has an object, then put the adverb of manner either
after the object or before the main verb. She read the letter
carefully.

1. The dog barks ________ at the mailman. (happily, angrily)


2. James plays the piano ________. (beautifully, slowly)
3. Diana ate the chocolate cake ________. (greedily, cautiously)
4. Roma remembers her lost pet ________. (quickly, sadly)

Ashley helped her mother cook dinner. They
carefully cut the vegetables and slowly placed them into
a boiling pot of water. Next, her mother quickly fried the
meat and patiently let it cook through. She worked fast.
Ashley eagerly waited for her next job, which was to
gently sprinkle spices into the soup. But she accidentally
poured in too much salt. She quietly told her mother
about her mistake. She realized that cooking is not easy.

________________________________ ______________________________

4
What I Have Learned

Adverbs of manner describe how actions are done. They usually end
with –ly. To recognize the adverb of manner, you need to identify the
verb or action word first, then look for the word that describes the
action.
Example: We have to talk quietly in the library.
adv.
I instantly knew that I would love my new book.
adv.

manner from the box below.
