Choose between adjectives and adverbs

🌟 Choose Between Adjectives and Adverbs 🌟

πŸ– Adjectives describe a noun (a person, place, or thing).

They tell what kind, which one, or how many.

Examples:

  • The 🍎 red apple is sweet.
  • She has a 🐢 cute puppy.
  • I have three 🎈 balloons.

Tip: Adjectives answer β€œWhat kind?” or β€œWhich one?”


πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Adverbs describe a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

They tell how, when, where, or how much.

Examples:

  • She runs πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ fast.
  • He sings 🎀 beautifully.
  • The cat sleeps 😴 quietly.

Tip: Adverbs often end in -ly (but not always!)
