It
is
important to know why the word we chose is the adjective. Let's review
the first few together. Then, it'll be your turn!
1. She loved
thepointy
pencils. The adjective is pointy. It is
letting the reader know how the pencil looks or feels. Therefore, it is
describing the pencils. 2. She
loved
the squeaky
chalk. The adjective is squeaky. It
is letting the reader know how the chalk sounded. Therefore, it is
describing the chalk.
Now
it's your turn to explain why the bold, italic
word(s) you chose was the adjective in the sentence.
3. He always provided the most tasty
snacks.
4. "I am the
teacher," she told her baby
brother, Julius.
5. One Monday
morning Lilly came to school especially happy.
6. She
had three
shiny quarters.
7. And,
best of all, she had a brand new
purple plastic purse!
*Did
you notice...there were some
adjectives in the second set of directions. The words bold and italic
are adjectives that describe "word." Pretty neat! Adjectives
are everywhere!
