Introduction to Adjectives

Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going to learn about adjectives. Adjectives are words that describe nouns. A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. Adjectives help us understand more about these nouns by telling us what they are like.

What is an Adjective?

  • Adjective: A word that describes a noun.
  • Noun: A person, place, thing, or idea.

Examples of Adjectives

  1. The tall man – “Tall” is the adjective describing the noun “man”.
  2. The red apple – “Red” describes the noun “apple”.
  3. The happy dog – “Happy” describes the noun “dog”.

Key Rules for Identifying Adjectives

  1. Look for Descriptive Words: Adjectives usually tell us how something looks, feels, smells, sounds, or tastes.
  2. Position: Adjectives often come before the noun. For example, “The big house” where “big” describes “house”.
  3. Questions to Ask: When you see a noun, ask:
    • What kind? (e.g., What kind of car? – “fast”)
    • How many? (e.g., How many apples? – “three”)
    • Which one? (e.g., Which book? – “this”)

Tips and Tricks

  • Highlight Adjectives: When reading, underline or highlight adjectives to practice spotting them.
  • Use Your Senses: Think about how you can describe things using your senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell).
  • Practice: The more you practice identifying adjectives, the better you’ll get!
