All About Adjectives
Have the students look at the language focus box on page 145. Have them look at the

Explain that these are adjectives. Adjectives describe nouns.
with their home language.
Usually they come before the noun, as in ‘little mouse’.
Sometimes they are used in adjective sentences, as in ‘The mouse
is little.’ Numbers and colors are also adjectives, as in ‘five animals’ and ‘brown animals’.
Another type of adjective sentence is using a pronoun and then the noun with the adjective,
as in ‘He is a funny mouse.’
It’s important to explain that adjectives are always singular, so we have ‘a funny mouse’ and
‘funny mice’.
