Key Notes :
🌟 Is the Word an Adjective or Adverb? 🌟
| What is an Adjective? 🖌️ |
An adjective describes a noun (person, place, thing, or animal).
It tells us what kind, which one, or how many.
Examples:
- 🐱 The cute cat is sleeping. (What kind of cat?)
- 🌳 There are tall trees in the garden. (Which trees?)
- 🍎 I have three apples. (How many apples?)
Tip: Adjectives usually answer these questions:
- What kind? 🤔
- Which one? 🧐
- How many? 🔢
| What is an Adverb? 🏃♂️ |
An adverb describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb.
It tells us how, when, where, or how much something happens.
Examples:
- She runs quickly. 🏃♀️ (How does she run?)
- He is very tall. 📏 (How tall is he?)
- They arrived yesterday. 🗓️ (When did they arrive?)
Tip: Adverbs often end in -ly (but not always!).
- Examples: quickly, slowly, happily, sadly
