In this ESL grammar lesson, students practice connecting adjectives to the nouns that they modify.
Adjectives are a fundamental part of English grammar. They add detail to your sentences by describing or modifying nouns. This beginner-level lesson will help you understand how to use adjectives to make your sentences more descriptive and interesting.
ESL Grammar: How to Use Adjectives with Nouns
Adjectives usually come before the nouns they describe. They can also follow a linking verb to describe the subject of the sentence.
Examples:
- Beautiful flowers are blooming in the garden. (adjective before the noun)
- The sky is blue. (adjective after the linking verb)
The beginner-level grammar lesson below focuses on identifying adjectives and the nouns they modify in a clear and simple manner to help young ESL learners to understand this concept. Our series of ESL grammar lessons on subjects and verbs introduce these concepts and reinforce them through helpful and instructive exercises.
