Adjectives and Adverbs Poster
What's Adjectives?
Adjectives are one of
the four major word classes, along with nouns, verbs and adverbs. Examples of
adjectives are: big, small, blue, old, rich and nice. They give us more
information about people, animals or things represented by nouns and pronouns.
Adjectives fall into two categories: descriptive and limiting.
Descriptive adjectives
are those which describe the colour, size, or quality of a person or a thing
while limiting adjectives place restrictions on the words they modify
(quantity, distance, possession, etc.)
Examples of adjectives:
· The dress is expensive
That bag is different from the rest of the bags
His phone is similar to mine
I am disappointed of you
That man is very cruel
I am hungry
What's Adverbs?
A word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an
adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of
place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite,
then, there ). Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Many
descriptive adjectives can be changed to adverbs by adding –ly to the adjective
base.

With Linking Verbs
A special category of
verbs connects or links the subject with the subject complement. Unlike most
verbs, these do not show action. They must be modified by adjectives, not
adverbs.
Verbs that can be
linked to adjectives are:
Be, Become, Remain, Stay,
Appear, Seem, Sound, Feel, Look, Smell, Taste
Example:
Utie feels bad for mocking Iyan
Louis becomes tired after running for 1 hour
Julia looks beautiful in that dress
They were sorry for cancelling the concert
The pizza tastes good
