Transcript
ADJECTIVES Adjectives are words used to describe nouns. Adjectives give more information about a noun. Use adjectives to make your writing more interesting. What are the adjectives? 1."Fast, fun, new, old, red, ugly" are all adjectives. They describe a noun. READ THESE EXAMPLES: It's a fast car. It's a fun car. It's a new car. It's an old car. It's a red car. It's an ugly car. 2. Adjectives can come BEFORE the NOUN (adjective + noun) EXAMPLES: It's an expensive bicycle. It's a racing bicycle. It's a red bicycle. 3. Adjectives can come AFTER a BE verb. (BE + adjective) EXAMPLES: The butterfly is pretty. The butterfly is blue. Butterflies are interesting. 4. Nouns can also work as adjectives. A noun can help describe an object. EXAMPLES: It's a business meeting. They're having a job interview. It's a school conference. 5. Present participles (-ing verbs) can also work as adjectives. EXAMPLES: Baseball is an exciting game. Baseball is interesting. It's an interesting game. 6. Past participles (verb 3) can also work as adjectives. EXAMPLES: The man is tired. The exhausted man fell asleep. He was worn out by work today. 7. Adjectives can be hyphenated. EXAMPLES: The computer-generated error message made the program freeze. My friend isn't very good at do-it-yourself projects. 8. Numbers can be used as adjectives. EXAMPLES: That's a three-ton truck. The man is a thirty-seven-year-old trucker. In his 20-year career, he's never had an accident. 9. Adjectives can be used to compare things. EXAMPLES: Cats are softer than dogs. My cat is the cutest cat I know.
