This document provides examples and explanations of adjectives. It begins with a story about a dog named Trix that can do tricks. It then defines adjectives as words that describe persons, places, things, or events. Examples are given of adjectives describing Trix as clever and nice. A rhyme about a balloon uses adjectives like yellow, round, and big. Students are given activities to identify and order adjectives correctly in sentences. The document teaches that adjectives come before nouns and indicate quantity, size, shape, color, or quality.
