Goal: To describe things (nouns) and actions (verbs) with precision and style.

🎨 1. Adjectives (The Noun Painters)

An Adjective is a word that describes or modifies a Noun or a Pronoun. It tells us “Which one?”, “What kind?”, or “How many?”.

• What Kind? (Quality): A brave soldier, a beautiful garden.
• How Many? (Quantity): Three students, several books.
• Which One? (Demonstrative): That car, these apples.

💡 St. Michael’s Tip: Adjectives usually come before the noun (The blue sky) or after a linking verb (The sky is blue).

⚡ 2. Adverbs (The Verb Enhancers)

An Adverb is a word that describes a Verb, an Adjective, or even another Adverb. It usually tells us “How?”, “When?”, “Where?”, or “To what extent?”.

• How? (Manner): He ran quickly. (Describes the verb ran)
• When? (Time): We will leave soon. (Describes when we leave)
• Where? (Place): Put the book there. (Describes where to put it)
• To what extent? (Degree): She is very tall. (Describes the adjective tall)

🔍 Easy Rule: Many adverbs end in -ly (slowly, happily, carefully), but not all of them (fast, now, everywhere)!
