Warming up

A little girl skipped joyfully along the path in the park. There she saw a friendly dog wagging its tail. The colourful flowers in the park bloomed beautifully and she saw a fast car zoom quickly down the road. The cozy house she was walking to stood peacefully on the quiet street next to the park.

Grammar: adjectives and adverbs

Adjectives:

• Describe nouns and pronouns.
• Can come before nouns.

Example: I have a black cat. 

Black describes what colour the cat is.

Adverbs:

• Are used to describe verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.
• They are often made by adding 'ly' to the adjective.

Example: I walked slowly

slow is an adjective, but adding 'ly' makes it an adverb
