A very simple lesson that teaches us about adjectives including 'what is an adjective?' and things like that. Hope that you will like it!

1. Adjectives

2. What is an adjective?
 Adjectives are words which
describe nouns.
 They describe the shape,
color, size, mood, quality,
quantity, etc. of things or
people.

3. For example
 square table
 red scarf
 large building
 angry man
 delicious drink
 many people
 shape
 color
 size
 mood
 quality
 quantity

4. In a sentence an adjective is used
 before a noun
to explain
things better.
 I would like to
buy a leather
bag. Show me
the one on the
top shelf. It is
the one with the
broad strap.
 After the be verbs.
 The weather is gloomy.
 The children have been
restless all day.
Subject Be

5.  Adjectives do not normally occur
after main verbs but there are
some special verbs which can be

6. Nouns as adjective
 Sometimes nouns act as
adjectives to describe other
nouns.
 chocolate cake / fish market
shoe shop / City hall / army office
 In each of these cases, the first
noun describes the second noun.
We are told what type of cake…

7. More than one type of adjective
 Examples:
 I met a tall French lady
yesterday.
 Jan bought a piece of blue Thai
silk from Bangkok.
Size color nationality
tall - French lady
- blue Thai silk
huge purple - umbrella

8.  When we use adjectives from
different groups together, we do
not use a comma or and.
 Examples:
 The dancer wore a large, yellow,
Korean costume. (X)
 The dancer wore a large and
yellow Korean costume. (X)
 The dancer wore a large yellow
Korean costume. ( )

9.  When we use two adjectives from
the color group, we place and
between them. We can use the
adjectives in any order.
 Examples:
 The pink and lilac dress is hers.
 Her dress is lilac and pink.

10.  The word color is not used after a
color adjective.
 Examples:
 a blue and white color building(X)
 a blue and white building ( )

11. Verb+ ‘ing’ / ‘ed’
 We use an
adjective
ending in ‘ing’
to describe a
thing or
situation.
 It is an exciting
book.
 We use an
adjective
ending in ‘ed’ to
describe how a
person or
animal feels.
 The excited boy
showed the new
toy to all his
friends.
Verb + ‘ing’ ending= adjective Verb + ‘ed’ ending= adjective
