What are Adjectives?

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They tell us more about people, places, animals, or things. Adjectives can tell us about:

- Color (red, blue, green)

- Size (big, small, tiny)

- Shape (round, square, bumpy)

- Number (one, two, many)

- Feelings (happy, sad, angry)

Fill in the blank with an adjective that makes sense.
