1. What are Adjectives?

• Adjectives describe nouns (a person, place, thing, or animal).
• They tell us what kind, how many, or which one about a noun.
• Example: She has a blue dress. (“blue” describes the noun “dress”)

2. What are Adverbs?

• Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
• They tell us how, when, or where an action happens.
• Example: He ran quickly. (“quickly” describes the verb “ran”)

3. How to Choose Between Adjectives and Adverbs:

• Use an adjective if you are describing a noun.
• Example: The cat is soft.
• (Here, “soft” describes the noun “cat.”)
• Use an adverb if you are describing a verb.
• Example: The cat runs quickly.
• (Here, “quickly” describes the verb “runs.”)

4. How to Spot the Difference:

• Adjectives answer the questions:
• What kind? (e.g., happy child)
• How many? (e.g., three apples)
• Which one? (e.g., that book)
• Adverbs answer the questions:
• How? (e.g., ran fast)
• When? (e.g., came yesterday)
• Where? (e.g., played outside)

5. Watch Out for -ly:

• Many adverbs end in -ly, but not all of them.
• Example: She sings beautifully.
• Be careful! Some adjectives look like adverbs but are not.
• Example: She is a friendly person. (“friendly” is an adjective, not an adverb)

6. Examples of Adjectives and Adverbs:

• The dog is happy (adjective: describes the noun “dog”).

• The small bird sings sweetly.

7. Remember:

• Adjectives describe nouns.
• Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
