Examples of Adjectives Describing Nouns in Sentences for 2nd Grade

📚 What are Adjectives?

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Nouns are people, places, things, or ideas. Adjectives give us more information about the noun, like its color, size, shape, or how it feels. For example, instead of saying 'a cat,' we can say 'a fluffy cat' or 'a small cat'. 'Fluffy' and 'small' are adjectives!
