These describing words have special names.
A word that describes the noun is called an ADJECTIVE.
A word that modifies the verb is called an ADVERB.
2. ADJECTIVES - Let’s take a look at adjectives in greater detail.
Place the following words into the right ‘hats’ according to the right category:
MOVEMENT; EMOTIONS; SHAPE; TASTE; WEATHER; TOUCH; SMELL
slow | round | rectangular | salty | sweet |
woolly | bitter | rapid | square | lonely |
happy | rough | overcast | sunny | fast |
oblong | sour | sad | jerky | smooth |
triangular | cold | knobbly | tasteless | content |
Could you manage to do that ? Have you realised that adjectives tell us more about the person, place, etc ?
3. Try this: Think of other words to use rather than ‘good’, ‘bad’ or ‘nice’.
