ADJECTIVE

An adjective is a name for a word that modifies (describes) a noun. Nouns are words that name a place, a person, a thing, or an idea. An adjective is a word that gives more information about the noun that goes with it (accompanies). from wikipedia

    NOUN             + BE + ADJECTIVE

a. A ball                 is     round

b. Balls                 are    round

c. Mary                  is      intelligent

d. Mary and Tom are    intelligent

    PRONOUN + BE + ADJECTIVE

e. I                       am   hungry

f. She                   is     young

They                    are   happy

ADJECTIVE (round, intelligent, hungry, young, happy)

Adjectives often follow a form of be (am, is, are). Adjectives describe or give information about a noun or pronoun that comes at the beginning of a sentence.*

*The noun or pronoun that comes at the beginning of a sentence is called a “subject”

EXERCISE: Find the adjective in the first sentence. Then complete the second sentence with be + an adjective that has an opposite meaning. Use the adjectives in the list. Use each adjective only one time.
