Activity Overview
Learning the French adverb suffix -ment provides students with a simple way to expand their vocabularies. However, it may be challenging for students to grasp the many spelling rules that accompany this suffix when added to an adjective. In this activity, students will practice the spelling changes when "-ment" is added to an adjective.
The sample storyboard and template for this activity include adjectives that will require various spelling changes before adding the adverb suffix. To simplify the activity, include only masculine singular adjectives that do not require spelling changes in the adverb form. Feel free to alter the templates and instructions as needed.
