  1. Adjectives and Adverbs By: Kayla Griffin

  2. Adjectives • Adjectives are words that describe, people , places , and things. • Adjectives describe nouns. • Adjectives add interesting details to your descriptions. • Adjectives modify the noun. • Adjectives can come right before a noun or right after a verb.

  3. Adjectives • When adjectives come after a verb, they tend to be separated by a conjunction. • When you have two adjectives come before a noun, you usually just put a comma between them. • Adjectives answer questions ,like : What kind?, Which one?, How many ?, and How much?.

  4. Adjective Examples • They lived in a beautifulhouse. • Ben is an adorablebaby. • This glass is breakable. • Linda’s hair is gorgeous. • Lisa is wearing a sleeveless shirt today.

  5. Adverbs • Adverbs usually describe or modify adjectives, verbs, clauses, and other adverbs. • A better way to define adverbs is by what they do in a sentence. • Lots of adverbs end in “ly”. • Not every word that ends in “ly” is an adverb. • Adverbs make writing and speaking more interesting and precise.

  6. Adverbs • In many cases, all you have to do is add “ly” to an adjective to turn it into an adverb. • Adverbs answer questions like: “how?”, “when?”, “where ?”, and “to what degree?”.

  7. Adverb Examples • I will surelyremember to take out the garbage. • I will probablynever forget you. • The children awoke unusuallyearly. • The actor bowed gracefullylow. • She sang more beautifully tonight than last night.
