Use Adjectives
You can describe people, places, or things with adjectives. Use adjectives to describe:
• how something looks
EXAMPLE The large monster growls. • how something sounds
EXAMPLE I hear his loud footsteps. • how something feels, tastes, or smells
EXAMPLE I see his rough skin and smell his rotten breath.
Often the adjective comes before the noun you are describing.
| EXAMPLE | The scary werewolf has silver fur. |
If two adjectives both describe the noun, separate them with a comma (,).
| EXAMPLE | The small , thin boy sees a large , gray dog. |
