Adjectives and Adverbs
Adjectives are words that help further describe other words. Adjectives are the little words added to a sentence to help create an image for someone else. There is a big difference between an advertisement for a rusty car or a shiny car. Adjectives allow someone to know if the food you are posting on Snapchat is delicious or disgusting. Without adjectives a car would just be a car and food would just be food. Adjectives are used every time you answer how your day is going so they are important to be able to identify.
