Adjective definition for 3rd grade
Adjectives | 3rd Grade Grammar
So far you've learned that nouns are words for people, places, or things.
Adjectives are words that describe nouns.
Check out some examples:
slow snail
hot soup
happy girl
many turtles
taller tree
Can you spot the adjective in the sentence below? 👇
Tip: First find the noun. The word describing the noun is the adjective.
The little duckling quacked.
Duckling is the noun.
What adjective is describing the duckling?
That’s right! Little is the adjective. 🎉
Types of Adjectives
There are eight types of adjectives. They all have fancy names, but they're pretty easy to use.
Let's learn the eight types of adjectives. 😺 We'll cruise through them quickly. 🏄♀️
1. Descriptive Adjectives
That is a fast car.
That car is fast.
The happy boy laughed.
I am happy.
Descriptive adjectives describe how nouns look or feel.
Most adjectives are this type.
Adjectives can go before the nouns they describe.
The giant pizza went into the oven.
Adjectives can also go after linking verbs (like 'is', 'am', 'are' or sensory verbs like 'smells').
The pizza is giant.
The giant pizza smells delicious.
Both giant and delicious are adjectives that describe pizza. 👍
Tip: Some common nouns can be used as descriptive adjectives too. Take a look:
The history teacher gave a great talk.
The computer museum was awesome!
2. Quantitative Adjectives
I have ten toes.
That costs three dollars.
I ate the whole pizza.
Quantitative adjectives like 'ten' tell how many there are of something.
Tip: 'quantitative' means having to do with quantity, or how many there are.
3. Proper Adjectives
American food is delicious.
Italian cars are more exciting than German cars.
I love Burger Blitz burgers.
Proper adjectives are proper nouns that describe other nouns.
4. Demonstrative Adjectives
That tree is gorgeous.
This plant is tall.
Those trees are gorgeous.
These plants are tall.
The four demonstrative adjectives are 'that', 'this', those', 'these'. They help you talk about a specific someone or something near or far.
5. Possessive Adjectives
Those are my speakers, Jim's chairs, his table, and her snacks. Your guests can invite their friends to our party.
Possessive adjectives show who owns a noun, like 'my', 'his', 'her', 'your', 'their', 'our', and possessive proper nouns like Jim's.
6. Interrogative Adjectives
Which chair would you like?
What movie do you want to watch?
Whose jacket is this?
The interrogative adjectives 'which', 'what', and 'whose' help you ask a question.
7. Indefinite Adjectives
I want some pizza.
It will be a few minutes.
Most people agree with you.
All of the students passed.
Indefinite adjectives, like 'few', 'many', and 'most', are similar to quantitative adjectives. They show how many there are of something, but don't say an exact number.
8. Articles
I saw a whale.
The whale jumped out of the ocean.
I was in an airplane.
Articles are the words 'a', 'an', and 'the'.
They are special adjectives that show if you're talking about a specific, or unspecific noun.
You'll learn more about articles in the next lesson. 👍
Spotting Adjectives
Can you spot the adjective in this sentence? 👇
The popcorn at the theater was salty!
Great! Salty is the adjective. It comes after the linking verb 'was' and describes the noun 'popcorn'. 🎉
Great job learning about adjectives!
Now, complete the practice. It'll help you remember for longer. 😺
