๐ Topic Summary
Adjectives and adverbs are both descriptive words, but they modify different parts of speech. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, providing more information about them (e.g., the blue car). Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, describing how, when, where, or to what extent something is done (e.g., He ran quickly). Understanding the difference is crucial for clear and precise writing.
This worksheet will help you practice identifying and using adjectives and adverbs correctly. You'll review key vocabulary, fill in the blanks with the appropriate word form, and think critically about how these parts of speech function in context.
