How do we use adjectives in our writing? There are three simple ways.

I. Add appropriate adjectives before any nouns in the sentence

Sentence 1: There are several tables at the library.

Sentence 2: There are several big tables at the spacious library. (big – besar, spacious – luas)

Sentence 1:

A few pupils are reading books.

Sentence 2:

A few hardworking pupils are reading books.

1. A woman is standing on a chair.

2. A frightened woman is standing on a small wooden chair.

1. A boy is laughing at the woman.

2. A mischievous boy is laughing at the frightened woman.

II. Write sentences to describe the people in the picture using appropriate adjectives.

The pupils are hardworking.

The boys are artistic.

III. Write sentences to describe the nouns in the picture (the place, objects, plants, animals, etc) using appropriate adjectives.

The kitchen floor is messy.

The mouse is tiny.

The box is rectangular.

Spice it up again! Use adverbs.

Adverbs describe verbs. Adverbs tell us how something is being done.

Adjectives are usually placed before nouns. Adverbs are usually placed before or after verbs.

Sentence 1: The pupils are studying. (How?) Sentence 2: The pupils are studying diligently.

Sentence 1: The boy is laughing. (How?) Sentence 2: The boy is laughing mischievously.
