GRAMMATICAL ACCURACY

INTRODUCING ADJECTIVES: MEANING AND EXAMPLES OF ADJECTIVES

Adjectives are describing words.

It helps to describe the characteristics or qualities of a person, animal, place or things.

For example:

                                                          

Good Girl (Good is the adjective)                                                              Tall Man                                                

               Fat Pig                                                                                                  Small Room

                                                    

                       Red Bag                                                                                                  Long Stick

 

They are also words that describes numbers, colours, size and shape.                                             

                  Five Oranges                                                                            Black Shoe 

Five describes the number of oranges.                                                    Black describes the colour of the shoe.

                           

                 Big box                                                                                            Round Table

Big describe the size of the box                                                 Round describes the shape of the table.

Adjectives are therefore, words that describe the quality, shape, numbers, colours, size.

Words that also describes how someone feels, tastes, smells, looks or sounds are called adjectives.

So, adjectives are ways of telling other people how we feel, taste, smell, look what things around us are like and how think of others.

Examples are:

Hungry boy, sweet pie, bad odor, pretty lady, loud music.

Here, hungry describes how the boy feels

Sweet describes the taste of the pie

Bad describes the smell of the odor,

Pretty describes the look of the lady

Loud describes the sound of the music.
