Adjectives Lesson 001

Skills - Recognizing Adjectives

An adjective is a word that is used to modify a noun or pronoun. Adjectives tell which, what kind of, and how many or how much.

Write the ADJECTIVE in the following sentences. Next to the adjective write "WHICH", "WHAT KIND OF", or "HOW MANY" to show what the adjective tells about the noun. The words "a", "an", and "the" are special adjectives. You do not need to pick them.
