Key Notes :
🌟Adjectives – What Kind or How Many? 🌟
| What is an Adjective? |
An adjective is a word that describes a noun (a person, place, thing, or animal).
It tells us more about the noun.
Example:
- 🐶 The small dog is cute.
- 🍎 I like red apples.
| Adjectives Tell What Kind |
These adjectives describe the type, quality, or kind of the noun.
Examples:
- 🏰 A big castle
- 🍦 A delicious ice cream
- 🐱 A furry cat
💡 Tip: Ask yourself: “What kind of [noun] is it?”
| Adjectives Tell How Many |
These adjectives tell the number or quantity of the noun.
Examples:
- 🍌 Three bananas
- 🐠 Many fish
- ✏️ Several pencils
💡 Tip: Ask yourself: “How many [noun] are there?”
| Examples Combining Both |
- 🏀 Two big balls → “two” tells how many, “big” tells what kind
- 🍰 A sweet slice of cake → “sweet” tells what kind, “a” tells how many (one)
| Quick Rules to Remember ✅ |
