LWS-L4 1 Let’s Write Sentences! Lesson 4 Here is what you will learn in this lesson: What is an adjective? What is an adverb? How do I use adjectives and adverbs? Sally has a campfire, but she can’t tell us anything about it. Sally needs descriptive words. Sally, you need adjectives and adverbs to describe your campfire. Let's join Colin and Sally as they talk about adjectives and adverbs! LWS-L4 2 Part 1: Adjectives Remember nouns? We talked about them in Lesson 1. They’re a person, place, or thing. Sometimes, nouns are just plain boring. To dress up our nouns, we can use adjectives. An adjective is a word that describes a noun. Adjectives make our sentences much more interesting! Let's take a look at adjectives at work! Example 1: I ate a tasty marshmallow! In this example, the adjective “tasty” is describing the noun “marshmallow.” It is telling us more about what the marshmallow is like. Example 2: The sun is warm. In this example, the adjective “warm” is describing the noun “sun.” It is telling us more about what the sun is like. Part 2: Adverbs Remember verbs? We also talked about them in Lesson 1. They’re action words. In the same way that adjectives “dress up” nouns, we can use adverbs in a similar way. An adverb adds more detail to verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adverbs often end in the letters –ly. Let's take a look at adverbs at work! Example 1: Colin and Sally are happily camping. In this example, the adverb is “happily” and it is describing the verb “camping.” It tells us HOW Colin and Sally camped. The did it happily. Example 2: Sally pitched the comfortably dry tents. In this example, the adverb is “comfortably” and it is describing the adjective “dry.” It tells us HOW dry the tent is. It is comfortably dry. LWS-L4 3 Part 3: Using Adverbs and Adjectives Remember, the main purpose of adjectives and adverbs is to make our writing more exciting! They provide more details and help us visualize. Using adjectives and adverbs, Sally can describe her campfire now! The hot campfire burns brightly. Descriptive words are fun to use! You're right, Sally. They also make your writing more colorful!
