4.2.2.1.9. The manner of action

Actions are sometimes described with mention of how they are performed: quickly, slowly, sadly, happily, repeatedly, carefully, carelessly, accidentally, purposefully. Here's some more homework: add as many manner words to this list as you can think of.

Techniques: TPR is commonly used to learn to understand manner words: “Stand up quickly”, “Sit down slowly”. When I use a picture book, I always like the LRP to tell me to turn the page when the time comes that she wants to go on to the next page. This can be combined with manner words: “Turn the page carefully.”
