Listen and Read Along

In Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, purple and plastic are describing words. Therefore, they are the adjectives. Notice there was more one than one adjective? That's ok. When there are more than one adjective, the adjectives are usually seperated by a comma. Now, lets figure out what noun the adjectives are describing. Are they describing Lilly? Ask yourself: Is Lilly purple and plastic? No, Lilly is just a mouse. Is Lilly's purse purple and plastic? Yes, it sure is. Remember to always look for pictures to help you.
