• They help give more information about a noun.

2. Types of Adjectives

• Adjectives can be divided into two main types based on the information they provide: a. Adjectives That Tell You What Kind
• These adjectives describe the qualities or characteristics of a noun.
• Examples:
  • “The red apple” (red describes what kind of apple).
  • “A happy dog” (happy describes what kind of dog).
  b. Adjectives That Tell You How Many
• These adjectives indicate the number or quantity of a noun.
• Examples:
  • “Three apples” (three tells how many apples).
  • “Several books” (several tells how many books).

3. Identifying the Type of Adjective

• When you see an adjective, ask yourself:
  • Does it describe what kind?
  • (e.g., “What kind of car?” → red car)
  • Does it tell how many?
  • (e.g., “How many cookies?” → five cookies)

  • “A tall tree” (tall describes what kind of tree).
• How Many:
  • “Four dogs” (four tells how many dogs).
  • “Ten pencils” (ten tells how many pencils).

5. Practice Activity

• Provide sentences and ask students to:
  • Underline the adjectives.
  • Decide if each adjective tells what kind or how many.
• Example Sentences for Practice:
  1. “She has two cats.”
  2. “The fluffy bunny is cute.”
  3. “There are five stars in the sky.”
  4. “I want a new backpack.”
