Hopefully if you are doing this lesson, you at least have an idea of what an ADJECTIVE and an ADVERB are! However, if you forgot, here’s a short review:

Both are about describing something. What is the difference?

ADJECTIVES describe NOUNS, and ADVERBS describe VERBS.

🌟🌟Make sure you know what a noun and verb are before starting this lesson!🌟🌟

What are adjectives? Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Remember, nouns are people, places, things, or animals (like boy, park, book, cat). Adjectives tell us what a noun looks like, feels like, how big it is, or what color it is.

• Think about a happy girl. (Happy tells us about the girl!)
• Look at a big house. (Big tells us about the house!)
• See a red apple. (Red tells us about the apple!)
• Pat a fluffy cat. (Fluffy tells us about the cat!)

What are adverbs? Adverbs are words that describe verbs (actions!). They tell us how, when, or where something happens. Many adverbs end with -ly!

• He runs quickly. (Quickly tells us how he runs!)

• She sings loudly. (Loudly tells us how she sings!)
• They play happily. (Happily tells us how they play!)

The Big Difference:

• Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things).
• Adverbs describe verbs (actions).

Here is a worksheet to practice both adjectives and adverbs! There are 4 different exercises available. On the story writing page (Exercise 4), feel free to bring it to me to have it checked!
