Adjectives Learning Guide
📖 Read the adjectives guide
An adjective is a describing word. It gives us more information about a noun or pronoun. In a gentle puppy, gentle describes the puppy. In It is gentle, gentle describes it.
A purple ribbon. A tiny seed. Purple tells us the colour. Tiny tells us the size.
An oval mirror. A worried child. Oval tells us the shape. Worried describes a feeling.
A quiet classroom. The classroom is quiet. Quiet describes the classroom in both sentences.
One soft cushion. Four soft cushions. Add s to the noun when needed, but keep soft unchanged.
Helpful extension: Size usually comes before colour: a little orange boat. To find an adjective, first find the noun, then ask which word tells you more about it.
💡 Teaching Tips for Parents and Teachers
Build understanding through examples
Find the noun first. Ask what detail the adjective adds. Accept different sensible words in creative writing and link every description to its intended noun.
Connect screen practice with real learning
Say your sentence aloud. Act, observe or draw where useful. Ask the child to explain the word choice instead of only naming an answer.
Review creative work together
Check meaning, grammar, capitals and sentence endings. Original writing is recorded on screen for review, not automatically marked as correct.
