As part of my low beginner listening course I teach adjectives derived from nouns with the -y suffix. In addition to the material provided by “Skillful Listening & Speaking”, I made a list of such adjectives to expand the vocabulary and also review the alphabet and spelling (which is never a bad idea with beginner students).
- I spell the original noun; students write it down.
- Student read the noun and then say the corresponding adjective.
- Students write down and spell the adjective based on the spelling rule.
- I provide a sample sentence.
- Students say their own sample sentence.
