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: Avoid busy roads. (describes the noun, ‘roads’) The kitten is cuddly. (describes the noun, ‘kitten’) Note: The adjective does not always come before the noun. He is tall. (describes the pronoun, ‘he’) 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 • Revise describing words by showing students various objects from the classroom or pictures of objects. Ask them to suggest words which tell about or describe each. List them on the board or chart next to the object/picture. • Read the phrases on the worksheet, emphasising the describing words. Explain how their picture must match what the words say; e.g. It wouldn’t be raining in the hot, sunny day picture and any person in their picture shouldn’t have a coat on. After discussion, students draw and colour their pictures and share them in a group or with the class. Ideas for further practice • On a separate sheet of paper, students make up their own phrase(s) with two adjectives describing a noun. Display students’ work. • Provide students with a set of cards with nouns and a set of cards with words that can be used as adjectives. Place each face down or put in a container. Students take out one noun card and two adjective cards. They order the words and draw what they read. Some, of course, will be amusing! For example, the cards might read ‘hairy, red car’.
