DESCRIPTIVE TEXTS

Descriptive text is a type of text that describes or explains a person, place, or thing in detail. The purpose
of descriptive text is to provide a clear picture of the characteristics or attributes of the subject being
described.

Here are some characteristics of descriptive text:

Uses attribute verbs, such as be (am, is, are)

Uses easy tense

Focuses on a single object

Uses principle nouns, such as my cat, my swain, or monument

Uses adjectives to clarify the use of nouns, such as a giant house or a sensible student

Uses basic verbs or first form (verb 1)

Some examples of objects that can be described in a descriptive text include: Animals, Places, People,
Food, and Things.

Descriptive texts often contain describing words to help build up an image in the reader's mind. They
may draw upon your five senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting) to help you to imagine
what something is like. For example: The white sandy beach stretched around the gently curving cove.
