Teachers can check how well students understand by giving small tests or activities that show what they know and what they find tricky. By watching how students do in these tasks, teachers can see where students need extra help. This way, teachers can make a plan to focus on those areas and help students improve step-by-step.

Adjectives modify nouns, describing their qualities (e.g., blue sky, three books). Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing information about how, when, or to what extent (e.g., runs quickly, very tall). In essence, adjectives describe nouns, while adverbs describe actions or qualities.

Similes and metaphors are literary devices used to make comparisons, but they differ in how they make those comparisons: *Simile* - Compares two unlike things using "like" or "as" - Explicit comparison - Separate entities remain distinct Examples: - He runs like a cheetah. - She sings as sweetly as a bird. *Metaphor* - Compares two unlike things without "like" or "as" - Implicit comparison - Entities become one Examples: - He is a lion on the soccer field. - Life is a journey. Key differences: 1. Explicit vs. Implicit: Similes use "like" or "as," while metaphors don't. 2. Separation vs. Unity: Similes keep entities separate, while metaphors merge them. 3. Clarity vs. Depth: Similes provide clear comparisons, while metaphors offer deeper, more nuanced understandings. Other differences: - Purpose: Similes illustrate, while metaphors reveal. - Tone: Similes can be more playful, while metaphors can be more profound.
