Adjectives and Adverbs

In this activity, you will learn how to use adjectives and adverbs to make your sentences more descriptive and interesting to read.

Adjectives

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. For example, the noun in the following sentence is room. Notice what happens to the sentence as we add adjectives one at a time.

1.  My room is the pits.
2.  My small room is the pits.
3.  My shabby, small room is the pits.
4.  My dirty, shabby, small room is the pits.
5.  My unpainted, dirty, shabby, small room is the pits.

In this activity, you will build a series of sentences about my cat. Each new sentence will contain more adjectives about the cat until the last sentence has a string of four adjectives.

Here is a word bank of adjectives you can use in your sentence. Feel free to add other adjectives that are not on the list. Begin typing at the < > angle brackets in each sentence.

white	black	soft	slinky	naughty
sly	silky	brown	wild	cranky
hungry	fat	slim	smooth	dirty
tired	happy	lonely

1.  My cat ran home.
2.  My < > cat ran home.
3.  My < >, < > cat ran home.
4.  My < >, < >, < > cat ran home.
5.  My < >, < >, < >, < > cat ran home.
