DISCUSSION
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. An adjective is a word that gives more information about the noun. Adjectives can describe:
color
shape
number
size
feelings and behaviors
sensory experiences (sight, touch, taste, smell, sound)
Creating an anchor chart with your class is a great way to illustrate all the ways adjectives can be used!
In this lesson, we will talk about adjectives that may describe qualities, personalities, feelings, and emotions.
A descriptive adjective is an adjective that modifies a noun or pronoun by describing it or expressing its quality.
Take a look at the following sentences:
He stood next to the tall woman.
The monkeys were very loud.
In these sentences, the words tall and loud are descriptive adjectives. They both describe the nouns they modify and tell us information we can use to describe the things they are referring to.
Here are some words that we can use:
Qualities Feelings and Emotions
respectful patient happy exciting
obedient kind sad lonely
honest strong scared tired
brave competitive angry sleepy
creative popular jealous calm
cheerful funny disgusted silly
independent thoughtful embarrassed confused
Can you think of other words that describe people? Let us review the
three words that you used to describe yourself. What actions show that these
qualities are true about you?
