Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about two special types of words: adjectives and adverbs. These words help us describe things and actions in our sentences. Let’s dive in and learn how to use them!
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. A noun is a person, place, or thing. For example, in the sentence “The girl is nice,” the word “nice” is an adjective because it tells us more about the girl.
An adverb is a word that describes a verb, an adjective, or even another adverb. Adverbs often tell us how, when, where, or how much something happens. For example, in the sentence “The girl plays nicely,” the word “nicely” is an adverb because it tells us how the girl plays.
Now, let’s practice using adjectives and adverbs in sentences. We’ll look at some examples and decide which word fits best.
The sentence is “Sarah sings ___.” Are we describing Sarah or how she sings? We need an adverb because we are describing how Sarah sings. So, we say, “Sarah sings beautifully.”
The sentence is “Emma has a ___ purple dress.” Our choices are “beautiful” or “beautifully.” Which one sounds right? “Emma has a beautiful purple dress” is correct because “beautiful” describes the noun “dress.”
The sentence is “The snail slithered ___ down the path.” Our choices are “slow” and “slowly.” We need an adverb to describe how the snail slithered. So, “The snail slithered slowly down the path” is correct.
The sentence is “The turtle is very ___.” We need an adjective to describe the turtle. Is the turtle very “slowly” or very “slow”? The correct answer is “The turtle is very slow.”
The sentence is “Fred ran ___ during the race.” How did Fred run? We need an adverb, so we say, “Fred ran quickly during the race.”
Adverbs often end in “-ly” and describe verbs, while adjectives describe nouns. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a pro at using them!
Thanks for learning with us today! We hope you had fun. Don’t forget to explore more lessons and keep practicing. See you next time!
Adjective and Adverb Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects and actions you can describe. Write down three nouns you see, like “dog,” “book,” or “window.” Next to each noun, write an adjective that describes it, such as “fluffy dog,” “interesting book,” or “big window.” Then, think of an action you see, like “running” or “laughing,” and write an adverb to describe how it happens, such as “quickly running” or “happily laughing.” Share your list with a friend or family member and see if they can add more adjectives or adverbs!
Adjective and Adverb Charades: Play a game of charades with your friends or family. Write down different actions on slips of paper, like “jumping,” “dancing,” or “reading.” Also, write down adjectives and adverbs, such as “quietly,” “excitedly,” “tall,” or “colorful.” Take turns picking one action and one adjective or adverb. Act out the combination, like “quietly jumping” or “excitedly dancing,” and have others guess what you are doing. This will help you understand how adjectives and adverbs change the meaning of actions!
Story Time with Adjectives and Adverbs: Create a short story using at least five adjectives and five adverbs. Start with a simple sentence, like “The cat sat on the mat.” Then, add adjectives and adverbs to make it more interesting, such as “The fluffy cat sat quietly on the colorful mat.” Illustrate your story with drawings that show the adjectives and adverbs you used. Share your story with the class or your family and see if they can spot all the descriptive words!

Hello boys and girls, it’s Teacher Mike again! Today we’re going to be practicing with adverbs and adjectives. These two word types do similar things, but they’re used in different situations. Let’s read the information at the top of this worksheet and the directions beneath it, and let’s get started.
An adjective is a word that describes nouns. For example, “nice.” In the sentence “The girl is nice,” “nice” describes the noun “girl.”
An adverb is a word that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs usually describe how, how much, what, or where something happens. For example, the word “nicely.” In the sentence “The girl plays nicely,” “nicely” describes how the girl plays.
Now, let’s read the directions below and circle an adverb or an adjective to complete each sentence.
Let’s look at the pictures to help us. The first sentence reads, “Sarah sings ___.” In this blank, will we be describing Sarah or how Sarah sings? We need an adverb because we are describing how Sarah sings. So, we would say, “Sarah sings beautifully.”
Let’s look at example number two: “Emma has a ___ purple dress.” Our answer choices are “beautiful” or “beautifully.” If we try both, “Emma has a beautiful purple dress” sounds good because “beautiful” describes the noun “dress.”
Now, let’s try the other option: “Emma has a beautifully purple dress.” That doesn’t sound right because we need the adjective to describe the dress. So, “Emma has a beautiful purple dress” is correct.
Now, let’s look at number three. I see a picture of a snail. The sentence reads, “The snail slithered ___ down the path.” Our choices are “slow” and “slowly.” Is this blank describing the snail or what the snail did? We need an adverb to describe how the snail slithered. So, “The snail slithered slowly down the path” is correct.
Next, I see a turtle. The sentence reads, “The turtle is very ___.” In this case, the blank is describing the noun, so we need an adjective. Is the turtle very “slowly” or very “slow”? You’re right! The turtle is very slow.
For our last example, I see a little boy named Fred. The sentence reads, “Fred ran ___ during the race.” How did Fred run? We need an adverb because we want to know how he ran. So, we would say, “Fred ran quickly during the race.”
Thanks for watching this worksheet on adverbs and adjectives! Remember, adverbs usually have the suffix “-ly” and describe a verb, whereas adjectives describe a noun.
