Adjectives in Descriptions

What are we learning today?

You will learn to describe animals and things with adjectives. You will also compare them.

Explanation

• Adjectives describe nouns.
• Put an adjective after "is" or "are", or after "very". Put it before a noun too.
• An adjective never takes -s: small eyes.
• With two adjectives, put size before colour: big, black eyes.
• Use "their" and "my" to show who owns something.
• To compare, use a short adjective with -er and "than".

Examples

1. Hippos are big and fat.
2. My dog has short legs.
3. Their tails are longer than their bodies.

Remember!

• Say "small eyes", not "smalls eyes".
• Say "longer", not "more long".
