Adjectives and Adverbs

Adjectives and adverbs are two important parts of speech in English. They help describe and modify other words.

Adjectives:

Adjectives are words that describe or modify a noun (a person, place, or thing). They tell us more about the noun, such as its color, size, shape, or other qualities.

• Examples of adjectives: happy, tall, beautiful, red, small, fast
• Example sentence: The red ball bounced.

Adverbs:

Adverbs are words that describe or modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. They tell us how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

• Examples of adverbs: quickly, loudly, very, always, yesterday
• Example sentence: She ran quickly.

Remember, adjectives modify nouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
