Star + s = Stars

person
Crash + es = Crashes
If the verb ends in SS, X, CH, SH or the letter
O, we add + ES in the third person.
Sky - y + ies = Skies
If the verb ends in a Consonant + Y, we
remove the Y and + IES in the third person

10. Examples of affirmative, negative and question
forms:
+ Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System

12. Adverbs of Frequency
We use adverbs of frequency to specify how often we practice or do some of our traditional activities.
The position of the adverbs of frequency is:
Subject + Adverb + Main verb
Earth always rounds the sun.
Subject + To be + Adverb
He is always happy.

13. Adverbs of Frequency
Always = The Sun always shines
Usually = Full moon usually appears
Normally = Earth normally rolls around the sun
Often = The skies often looks clear
Sometimes = Shooting stars sometimes appear in the sky

14. Occasionally = Eclipses happens occasionally
Seldom = Meteors seldom visit planet earth
Rarely = Planets alignment rarely occurs
Never = A galaxy never disappear
Adverbs of frequency

My name is___________ .I am the second planet from the Sun. I am the hottest planet, with temperatures as high
as 900 degrees. In addition to being hot, I am quite bright! If you are looking at the night sky from Earth, I am the
brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon,”
I am _______. I think you know me pretty well. I am the third planet from the Sun. You are sitting on me right now!
You surely know that I have one moon. Lots of amazing plants, animals, and wonderful children live on me, and
hopefully take care of me! Have a nice day!”
I’m ________. I am the fourth planet from the Sun. I feel close to Earth because it is my neighbor planet. I am
special because Earth people always wonder if there is life on ________. Hey children, do you want to know
whether or not there is life on ________? Lean forward, and I’ll tell you. Closer. Closer. Nope, I am just kidding. I
want to keep it a mystery, so you will keep visiting me with your rovers and I can get to know you better!”
I’m __________, my orbit is the fifth from the Sun, and I am super special. I am the largest planet. I also have the
most moons—more than 60! In fact, one of my moons is larger than Mercury and Pluto, no offense. A lot of Earth
people think that only the planet Saturn has rings, but I have rings also— three of them. They are hard to see, but
they are there,”
Hi, _________ here. I am currently the ninth and last planet from the Sun, but as you heard I am a small planet.
People on Earth had a contest to name me when I was first seen from Earth through a telescope. The New York
Times newspaper thought I should be named Minerva. An 11-year-old girl thought I should be named Pluto. I am
glad the little girl won! Some Earth people think that I shouldn’t be called a planet, because my orbit is different
from all the other planets, and I am so small. They say I may be a member of a body of small objects on the outer
edges of our solar system.
Hi , I am __________, and I am the seventh planet from the Sun. My name is pronounced ‘YOUR a nus’ in case
