adjective patterns used in English

interesting. (The adjective interesting
describes the noun book.)
Adj + N Example: This is an
interesting book. (The adjective
interesting describes the noun book.)

15. 1-Set a poster board or sheet of paper on a table.
Tell the child that he receives a sticker on his paper
every time he names an adjective correctly. Once
he gets a certain number of stars, he will receive a
special treat, such as an ice cream cone, cash or
even a trip to the zoo. The number of stars he must
earn depends on the age of the child and his
attention span. Reward him either at the end of
each lesson or at the end of the week after multiple
lessons.

16. 2-Cut out various shapes with a pair of scissors from different
colored pieces of construction paper. Tell her that adjectives
describe shapes. Ask the child to name the different shapes.
3-Write down a simple sentence, such as "The ball is
round." Ask him to remember that shapes are adjectives
and to identify the adjective in that sentence. If he does
so correctly, reward him with a star. If not, repeat the

lesson
therefore, they are an adjective.

17. 6-Write down a short sentence, such as "The
ball is red and round." Remind her that colors
and shapes describe an object or thing, and
they are adjectives. Tell the child to identify the
adjectives in the sentence and that there may
be more than one.
7-Reward the child with a sticker if he guesses
correctly. If not, repeat the lesson. If your child
becomes frustrated after trying for a half an hour, it
may be necessary to take a break or begin again
another day.

18. 8-Place many objects on a table. Use various
textures, sizes, shapes, colors and quantities. Explain that
textures, or how something feels to the touch, is an
adjective. Ask the child to identify each texture and to
name the adjective. Repeat the same procedure with
quantities, temperature or age, such as young or old.
Repeat her phrases or sentences back to her and ask her
what the adjective is in each.

special treat once he has earned his
agreed upon number of stickers. Repeat
the lesson each day or weekly until he no

adjectives.
