Adjectives
An adjective gives us more information about a noun.
It can tell us what something is like: a rough stone, a tiny seed, a cheerful child.
An adjective can come before a noun or later in the sentence: the soft blanket; the blanket is soft.
A red kite flew.
Red describes the noun kite. It tells us its colour.
The tunnel is dark.
Dark describes the tunnel, even though it comes after is.
A friendly dog waited.
Friendly describes the dog. It is an adjective, even though it ends in -ly.
Remember: Find the noun. Ask which word tells you more about it.
Grown-up guide
Focus on useful details, not adding as many adjectives as possible. Ask the child to connect each adjective to its noun.
Allow about 10 minutes, with breaks as needed. Listen to the explanation and look at the child’s own sentences. Correct choices alone do not show mastery. Writing is reviewed together, not automatically marked.
A useful starting point: nouns.
