An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun.
It tells us what kind, which one, or how many.

Example:

  • 🌸 Beautiful flower
  • 🏠 Big house
  • 🐶 Three puppies

DemonstrativeTells which one🖐️ This pen, ✏️ Those pencils
PossessiveShows ownership👦 My book, 👧 Her bag

Adjectives often answer these questions about a noun:

  1. What kind?happy child, spicy food
  2. Which one?this book, those chairs
  3. How many?two dogs, many stars

Tip: Adjectives often come before nouns.
Example: 🐱 A fluffy cat 🐱

  • The sunny day made us happy. ☀️
  • I have three red balloons. 🎈🎈🎈
  • She wore a beautiful dress. 👗

✅ In each sentence, the adjective describes the noun (day, balloons, dress).

  • Adjectives make sentences colorful and interesting! 🌈
  • Look for words that tell more about a noun.
  • Many adjectives can have comparative or superlative forms:
  • big → bigger, biggest
  • happy → happier, happiest

Underline the adjectives:

  1. The tall giraffe is eating leaves. 🦒
  2. She has a red ball. ⚽
  3. We saw three birds in the sky. 🐦🐦🐦
