Certainly the most challenging brainteaser yet.
'What begins with an e, and ends with an e but has only one letter?'
A number of you guessed words like 'eye' and 'eve'.....these words do begin and end in e but have more than one letter.
This was a word play riddle.... the letter I was talking about was not an alphabet letter but a paper letter.
So the answer was envelope as this contains a letter!!!!!
Congratulations to Charlotte (with her sister's help) who was first of 8 correct answers!

► ENGLISH - fronted adverbials
Adverbs
An adverb is simply a word that describes a verb (an action or a doing word).
They come before or after a verb.
-
He quickly ate his lunch.
-
He ate his lunch quickly.
Adverbials
Adverbials do the same job as adverbs. They are phrases instead of single words.
He ate his lunch as quick as a flash. - (notice this adverbial phrase is a simile)
They come before or after a verb.
-
As quick as a flash, he ate his lunch.
-
He ate his lunch as quick as a flash.
Fronted Adverbials
Fronted adverbials are adverbs or adverbial phrases that go at the beginning of a sentence and describe the verb (action) that follows.
In the blink of an eye, the storm clouds gathered!
There are different types of fronted adverbial that can be used to change the description of the action in a sentence. These include fronted adverbials of:
- Time - In the early morning, the storm clouds gathered.
- Frequency - Every evening, the storm clouds gathered.
- Place - Above the castle, the storm clouds gathered.
- Manner - As quick as a flash, the storm clouds gathered.
- Degree - Terrifyingly, the storm clouds gathered.
Fronted adverbials are followed by a comma.

We have learnt about how plants reproduce, how they are important as food for animals and how all food chains begin with a plant.
How would the world be different if plants (small or large) disappeared?
Plants are not only important food sources for animals (including humans) they are homes for animals and they produce the air that we breathe. Without plants the World would not survive.
Are plants and trees in danger from humans?
