Choose between adjectives and adverbs

  • Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things).
    • Example: “The happy dog barked.” (What kind of dog?)
  • Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
    • Example: “The dog barked loudly.” (How did the dog bark?)

  • Use adjectives when you want to give more information about a noun.
  • They answer questions like:
    • What kind? (e.g., “The blue car.”)
    • How many? (e.g., “There are five apples.”)
    • Which one? (e.g., “That tall building.”)

  • Use adverbs when you want to give more information about a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
  • They answer questions like:
    • How? (e.g., “She runs quickly.”)
    • When? (e.g., “I will call you later.”)
    • Where? (e.g., “The cat is hiding under the table.”)

  • Adjective Example: “The fast car won the race.” (Describes the noun “car.”)
  • Adverb Example: “The car raced fast.” (Describes how the verb “raced” is done.)
  • Choosing:
    • “She is a quick runner.” (Adjective describing “runner.”)
    • “She runs quickly.” (Adverb describing how she runs.)

  • Example Sentences for Practice:
    1. “The dog barked very __ (loud/loudly).”
    2. “She wore a __ (beautiful/beautifully) dress.”
