Grammar review
How to spot an adjective
1. Look for words that describe a noun.
Adjectives give more information about a person, place, thing, or idea.
• The blue sky
• A happy child
Ask: What kind? Which one? How many?
2. Check if the word comes before a noun.
Adjectives often appear right before the noun they describe.
• The old house
• Three red apples
3. Watch for adjectives after certain verbs.
Some adjectives come right after verbs like is, are, was, were, seem, feel, look.
• The dog is tired.
• The soup smells good.
If the word describes the subject (not an action), it's an adjective.
4. Try removing the word.
If the sentence still makes sense but has less detail, the word might be an adjective.
• She wore a beautiful dress.
• → She wore a dress. (Still works!)
5. Be careful: not all describing words are adjectives.
• Adverbs describe verbs (often end in -ly): He runs quickly.
• Nouns name things; they don't describe them.
