Alright, so as we mentioned, today we are going to talk about adjectives.
00:05
Let's start at the beginning. What is an adjective?
00:10
Wow, that's a great question. You may have heard that word before.
00:13
What is an adjective?
00:17
Well, this might sound a little weird, but in order to know what an adjective is,
00:22
you have to understand what a noun is.
00:24
And remember, a noun is a person, place, or thing.
00:28
A person, like a doctor, or a place, like a bookstore, or a thing, like a desk.
00:35
If it's a person, place, or thing, it's a word that's a noun.
00:40
Well, here's where adjectives come in.
00:45
Adjectives describe nouns.
00:48
Adjectives are words that tell us more about nouns.
00:53
So let's look at some adjectives for these nouns that we shared.
01:00
The doctor, the bookstore, and the desk.
01:03
The doctor. Two adjectives we could use to describe this doctor are tall and smart.
01:12
Tall and smart describe this doctor, and the doctor is the noun.
01:19
Remember, bookstore is a noun, too. It's a place.
01:23
What are two adjectives that we could use?
01:26
Well, one adjective could be the word fancy.
01:29
This looks like a pretty fancy little bookstore.
01:33
And it also looks like it could be friendly.
01:36
Friendly is another adjective we could use to describe this bookstore.
01:42
Fancy and friendly are adjectives that describe the noun.
01:47
Well, what about this desk?
01:50
Well, two adjectives that could describe this desk are clean and tan.
01:56
Clean because you can see it's not a dirty desk.
02:00
And also tan because that's the color of the desk.
02:05
That describes the color of the desk.
02:08
This is a tan desk.
02:11
Tan and clean are adjectives. They're describing the nouns.
02:16
All of these words you see are adjectives.
02:19
Tall, smart, fancy, friendly, clean, and tan.
02:25
Adjectives are pretty fun.
02:28
All you have to remember is adjectives describe nouns.
02:33
Now let's practice using adjectives to describe nouns.
02:38
Look at this picture.
02:39
These girls. How would we describe these girls?
02:43
Well, some adjectives we could use, we could use the adjective happy.
02:48
They look pretty happy. Look at those big smiles.
02:51
What else would describe them?
02:54
Do they look clean or do they look messy?
02:58
Yeah, they look pretty messy.
03:00
Messy is another adjective.
03:02
Happy and messy describe these girls.
03:09
That was a pretty good job.
03:10
Now let's look at this picture.
03:12
What are two adjectives we could use to describe this Lego toy?
03:18
Well, he looks a little angry, doesn't he?
03:22
Angry describes him.
03:24
That means angry could be a good adjective.
03:29
What's another adjective?
03:31
Is this toy very big?
03:34
Look at this toy compared to the grass.
03:36
This toy is pretty tiny.
03:38
Tiny describes the toy in this picture.
03:42
So the two adjectives we could use are angry and tiny.
03:47
They describe the noun.
03:52
Wow, look at this picture.
03:54
Look at all these trees.
03:56
How would we describe these trees?
03:58
What are some adjectives we could use to talk about these trees?
04:03
Well, these trees are tall, aren't they?
04:07
They seem to reach all the way up to the sky, it looks like from this picture.
04:11
They're very tall.
04:13
Something else about these trees, and we can tell this because of just how tall they are,
04:18
they must be very old as well.
04:21
These are old trees.
04:23
These aren't young little saplings.
04:25
These trees are tall and old.
04:28
Tall and old are adjectives describing the trees.
04:34
Oh, wow, look at this picture.
04:36
How would we describe the water in this picture?
04:40
If the water is a noun, it's a thing,
04:43
what are some adjectives we could use to describe it?
04:46
Well, one of the first things we know about water is that it is wet, right?
04:52
Whenever you get in water, you become wet because water is wet.
04:57
That's an adjective we could use, right?
05:00
What's another adjective we could use?
05:03
Look at the color. What is the color of the water?
05:06
Yeah, blue.
05:09
Wet and blue are adjectives describing the water.
05:16
Adjectives are words that describe nouns.
05:22
All right, that was pretty cool.
05:24
Now let's play the adjective game and find out how much you really learned.
05:32
Okay, so here's how the game works.
05:34
We're going to show you a sentence, and you tell us which word is the adjective.
05:39
It's kind of like a game where you hunt and find the adjective in the sentence.
05:44
Let's get started.
05:47
So here's the first one.
05:49
The sentence says,
05:51
He ran to the old store.
05:54
Which word is the adjective?
05:57
Remember, adjectives describe nouns.
06:02
Which word is the descriptive word?
06:07
Yeah, old. Old is the adjective.
06:11
Awesome job.
06:15
Here's the next one.
06:17
The quick fox got away.
06:21
Wonder which word is the adjective.
06:26
Can you spot the adjective?
06:31
Uh-huh, the word quick.
06:34
Quick is the adjective.
06:36
Quick is describing the fox.
06:39
Quick is another word for fast.
06:41
This is a quick fox that got away.
06:44
Good job.
06:47
Look at this one.
06:49
It says he wanted to buy a new car.
06:53
I think you might be getting the hang of it.
06:56
Which word is the adjective?
07:01
Yeah, the adjective is the word new.
07:05
Because new is describing the noun car.
07:10
Great job. New is the adjective.
07:18
Okay, here's our last one.
07:20
The birds flew past the big building.
07:25
This is a long sentence.
07:27
Can you pick out the adjective?
07:29
The birds flew past the big building.
07:35
Which word is the adjective?
07:39
Alright, big. Yes.
07:42
And why is big the adjective?
07:48
Uh-huh, it describes the noun building.
07:53
It's describing a noun.
07:55
It's an adjective. Awesome job.
07:58
Alright, that was a great time, wasn't it?
08:01
I mean, adjectives are so much fun.
08:03
It's the way that we describe nouns.
08:06
And right now, I'm hungry.
08:08
That's an adjective.
08:10
I'm describing myself.
08:12
And look at that cake on that table.
08:15
Um, I wonder what are in those silver bins.
08:19
I bet there's some really yummy food in there.
08:22
Better go, but remember, you can use adjectives anytime.
08:26
They're just words that describe nouns.
08:29
We hope to see you next time.
