I read my books. I write my name and a story. I count to 20 and learn my shapes. Tomorrow, I will be a very smart sportsperson. 2. Circle all the ‘doing’ words in the text. 3.

Parts of speech Adjectives Focus Common adjectives Definition • An adjective is a describing word. It adds meaning to or changes the meaning of a noun or a pronoun. Example: These are shady trees. (describes the noun, ‘trees’) The pillow is soft. (describes the noun, ‘pillow’) Note: The adjective does not always come before the noun: She is quiet. (describes the pronoun, ‘she’) Explanation • The use of suitable adjectives not only makes written or spoken language more interesting, it gives the reader or listener a clearer understanding. Worksheet information • The pictures on page 13 have descriptions underneath with missing adjectives. Explain to the students that the missing words are at the bottom of the page. Discuss the pictures and descriptions with the students and read the words at the bottom. Ask them to suggest which would be the best word to cut out and glue under each picture. • Depending on the ability of your students, they may like to know these words are ‘describing’ words or ‘adjectives’, which help to make our writing more interesting. Ideas for further practice • Present the worksheet on an overhead projector, but this time without the words at the bottom. Ask students to think of other words that could be written in the space under each picture. Alternatively, students could add another adjective before or after the one given; e.g. pretty, pink flower. • Students form circles of five or six. One student chooses an object from a selection that has been placed in the middle of the circle. He or she names the object and then thinks of a word to describe it, saying the word (adjective) out loud; e.g. a ball, a round ball. The object is passed to the next student, who then thinks of another adjective; e.g. a white ball. This continues until each student has had a turn. Other students can suggest an adjective if one student is having difficulty. The game continues with another object in the pile and so on. Answers 1. a funny clown, a wet day, a hot drink, a pretty flower, a tall tree, a sad baby ©R.I.C.
