EnglishThis week we will focus on writing our very own diaries. We can use what we learnt the other week about adjectives to help us make very interesting pieces of writing.

Activity One: We will use time adverbials throughout our diaries. An adverbial of time is a word or phrases which tells the reader when the action in the sentence took place. Below is a list of some time adverbials.

again now often soon early never eventually occasionally suddenly . in the morning tonight first then finally after

Please now write 5 sentences about your day so far using some of these time adverbials. Can you come up with any time adverbials of your own?
