1. Understanding Adjectives and Adverbs

• Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns (people, places, things, or ideas).
• Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

2. Identifying Adjectives

• Questions to Ask:
• What kind? (e.g., happy, blue)
• Which one? (e.g., the tall building)
• How many? (e.g., three apples)
• Examples:
• “The red car is fast.” (Red describes the noun car.)
• “She is a brilliant student.” (Brilliant describes the noun student.)

3. Identifying Adverbs

• Questions to Ask:
• How? (e.g., quickly, carefully)
• When? (e.g., tomorrow, yesterday)
• Where? (e.g., here, there)
• To what extent? (e.g., very, quite)
• Examples:
• “He runs quickly.” (Quickly describes how he runs.)
• “She sings beautifully.” (Beautifully describes how she sings.)

4. Common Endings to Look For

• Adjectives often end in:
• -y (e.g., happy)
• -ful (e.g., joyful)
• -able (e.g., readable)
• Adverbs often end in:
• -ly (e.g., quickly, carefully)
• Note: Not all adjectives end in these suffixes, and not all adverbs end in -ly, but this can be a helpful guide.
