This Spanish Kapow teacher video supports a grammar-focused lesson in which pupils learn how to form and use adverbs in Spanish. Pupils begin by exploring how adverbs can modify adjectives and verbs, for example, “very interesting” or “write carefully.” The lesson builds on prior understanding of the English suffix -ly by showing the Spanish equivalent: -mente. Pupils follow a clear three-step process – identify the adjective, convert it to its feminine form, then add -mente. For example, rápido becomes rápidamente and perfecta becomes perfectamente. The lesson also addresses adjectives that don’t change gender, like fácil and eficiente, where the suffix is simply added.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work – grammar. It equips teachers with simple strategies to model adverb formation and supports pupils in spotting patterns and similarities between English and Spanish. With opportunities to use bilingual dictionaries and compare grammar rules, the lesson promotes language detective skills and strengthens sentence-building. Pupils are encouraged to experiment with new vocabulary and enhance their spoken and written Spanish by using adverbs confidently and creatively.
