  2. Adjectives • Adjectives are words that describe, modify a person, place or thing. Adjectives usually come before the noun. For example: The orange cat ran across the yard. Adjectives can also describe pronouns. For example: The green one. Adjectives make sentences more detailed and clear.

  3. Types of Adjectives • Personal adjectives include Ms. Jones and Mr. Smith. They are adjectives when they are connected with a name. • Possessive adjectives include: My, her, his • Articles include: A, an, the • Numbers: Examples are, 7 dwarves, 4whales.

  5. Do we Capitalize adjectives? • Yes, sometimes. You only capitalize it when the adjectives owes its origin to a proper noun. • For example: Christmas music, Spring festival, Fall musical.

  6. Adverbs • Adverbs modify and tell when, where and why. They describe verbs. Adverbs are pretty movable throughout your sentence. They can be hard to find in some cases. A lot of verbs end in ly, which usually expresses how an action is done.
