Ask: What is an adverb of manner?

An adverb of manner is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective and

another adverb. It tells how an action is done. Generally, adverbs of
manner make use of ly that is added to an adjective.
Rules:

If an adjective ends in l, keep the l and add ly.

example:
casual casually
global globally

If the adjective ends in y with a consonant before it, change y to i and

add ly.
example:
busy busily
ready readily

Ask: What is the adverb of frequency?

Answer: An adverb of frequency tells how often an action is done.

 Generalization

Read the story. Pick out the adverbs of manner and frequency. Use them
in your own sentences.

The Proud King

There was once a king who ruled harshly over the lands. One night
after he was crowned as emperor, he thought of himself as the greatest
on earth and in heaven.
He often went hunting. Early morning, while in the deep woods, he
swam to cool himself in the lake. He proudly swam away from the shore.
Suddenly there came from the bottom of the lake someone who had the
same face and form as he. This man quickly put on the kings clothes and
drove away with the kings horse. When the proud king finished cooling
himself he found his clothes and his horse already gone.
With some woven reeds covering his body, he walked to the castle.
He beat loudly at the gate but he was driven away. He went to the dukes
hall but he was put to prison. Working hard, he loosened the chains that
bound his feet and fled away. He went to his own palace but no one
recognized him. Instead, he was beaten up and was thrown outside the
palace.
The proud king fled away. He wished he was dead. Reaching the
lake where he had bathed, he cried aloud. He asked forgiveness for his
pride.
