Choose between adjectives and adverbs

Key Notes :

✨ Choose Between Adjectives and Adverbs ✨

What is an Adjective?

Definition: An adjective describes a noun or pronoun.

It tells us: What kind? Which one? How many?

Examples:

• 🏡 The big house is beautiful.
• 🐶 She has a cute puppy.
• 📚 I read three books yesterday.

Tip: Adjectives usually come before a noun or after linking verbs like is, seems, looks.

• Example: The cake is delicious. 😋

What is an Adverb?

Definition: An adverb describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

It tells us: How? When? Where? How often? To what extent?

Examples:

• 🏃 He runs quickly.
• 🌙 She sings very beautifully.
• ⏰ I will meet you tomorrow.

Tip: Many adverbs end in -ly, but not all!

• Example: He is fast. (adjective) vs. He runs fast. (adverb) 🏃

Quick Ways to Decide ✅

Look at the word it’s describing:

• If it describes a person, place, or thing → adjective
• If it describes a doing word (verb) or another description → adverb

Check the sentence meaning:

• She is a careful driver. (adjective → describes driver)
• She drives carefully. (adverb → describes drives)
