1. Understanding Adjectives and Adverbs

• Adjectives: Words that describe or modify nouns (people, places, things).
  • Example: “The happy girl.”
• Adverbs: Words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
  • Example: “She runs quickly.”

2. Key Differences

• Adjectives answer questions about nouns:
  • What kind? (e.g., “What kind of car?” → red car)
  • How many? (e.g., “How many cookies?” → three cookies)
  • Which one? (e.g., “Which book?” → that book)
• Adverbs answer questions about verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs:
  • How? (e.g., “He sings loudly.”)
  • When? (e.g., “She will come tomorrow.”)
  • Where? (e.g., “The dog is playing outside.”)

3. How to Identify Adjectives and Adverbs

• Look at the word: Determine if it describes a noun or a verb/adjective/adverb.
  • If it describes a noun, it’s likely an adjective.
  • If it describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb, it’s likely an adverb.
• Ending clues:
  • Many adverbs end in -ly (e.g., quickly, happily), but not all.
  • Adjectives do not have a specific ending, but they can sometimes end in -ful (e.g., joyful, beautiful).

4. Examples for Practice

  • “The teacher speaks clearly.” (Describes how she speaks.)
