π Topic Summary
Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Nouns are people, places, things, or ideas. When we add adjectives to a sentence, we make it more interesting and detailed. For example, instead of saying "The dog barked," we can say "The fluffy dog barked." "Fluffy" is an adjective that describes the dog.
In this worksheet, we'll practice using adjectives to expand simple sentences. This means we'll add adjectives to make the sentences more descriptive and fun to read. Get ready to use your imagination and make those sentences shine!
