Introduction

Adjectives and adverbs are special words that help us describe people, places, animals, things, and actions. They make our sentences more colorful and fun!

What are Adjectives?

Adjectives are words that describe nouns (naming words). They tell us more about a person, place, animal, or thing.

• A tall boy

What are Adverbs?

Adverbs are words that tell us more about verbs (action words). They tell us how, when, or where something happens.

• She sings sweetly. (How?)
• He ran quickly. (How?)

Using Adjectives

Adjectives answer questions like: What kind? How many? Which one?

Using Adverbs

Adverbs often end with -ly, but not always.
