πŸ“Identify the Adjective That Describes the Noun

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or animal.

Examples:

  • πŸ‘© girl
  • 🏑 house
  • 🐢 dog
  • 🍎 apple

An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells us what kind, which one, or how many.

Examples:

  • πŸ‘§ happy girl β†’ β€œhappy” tells us about the girl
  • 🏠 big house β†’ β€œbig” tells us about the house
  • πŸ• brown dog β†’ β€œbrown” tells us about the dog
  • 🍎 red apple β†’ β€œred” tells us about the apple

Ask yourself these questions:

  1. What kind? β†’ The kind of noun (e.g., 🐢 brown dog)
  2. Which one? β†’ The specific noun (e.g., 🍎 this apple)
  3. How many? β†’ The number of nouns (e.g., 🐦 three birds)

Tip: Adjectives often come before the noun in a sentence.

Circle the adjective in these sentences:

  • The happy dog is running.
  • I have a blue bag.
  • There are five apples on the table.
  • She wore a beautiful dress.
  • Noun = person, place, thing, animal
  • Adjective = describes the noun
