    Adjectives

    Essential Question
    How do I identify the correct use of
    adjectives within context?
    What is an Adjective?

    • What does it do?


    1. Adjectives
    • An adjective is a word that
    is used to describe a noun or
    pronoun.
    It describes a noun or pronoun by telling
    •what kind (big, small, wet, long, beautiful)
    •which one (this, that, last, first…)
    •how much (little, much, enough, no)
    •how many (five, many, several, ten,
    enough ,no )
    1. To find the adjectives, look for the nouns or
    pronouns first. Then ask what kind, which one,
    how many or how much

    • Examples:
    – The green grapes are amazing.
    – The seventh grade reads that book.
    – I got five tickets for the last show.
    – Happy teachers announced the good
    results.
    – I have enough salt in these dishes.
    1. Adjectives

    • Sometimes an adjective
    comes after the word it
    describes…
    – The women, kind and helpful, gave us
    directions.
    – The box is empty.
    – The choices are few but difficult.

    information.

    group
    • I sat on a chair.
    • Definite Articles
    – the
    • The refers to someone or something in
    particular.
    • I sat on the chair.
    3. Nouns used as
    adjectives and compound
    adjectives
    • Many words that can stand alone
    as nouns can also be used as
    adjectives describing nouns.
    • A compound adjective is made up
    of more than one word
