Hello welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about adjectives and adverbs.
Let's get started
an adjective is a word or set of words that modifies In other words describes a noun or pronoun.
Remember that adjectives may come before or after the word they modify.
Now let's have a look at the examples over here.

Now the adjective cute modifies or describes the noun cat.
And note that it comes before the noun and in the sentence.
This cat is cute.
Again the adjective cute modifies the noun cat but it comes after the noun
on the other hand an adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other adverbs.
Remember the usually adverbs modify verbs and they tell us how how often when or where something was
done let's have a look at the example over here.
We walked really slowly not the adverb slowly modifies the verb walked how we walked
remember that adjectives can modify nouns for example girl boy etc. or pronouns for example re it etc..
Now let's have a look at the examples below Lily is an honest person.
Note that the adjective honest modifies or describes the noun person in the sentence.
The movie was awful.
The plot is simply boring the adjective awful modifies or it describes what kind of movie it was in
the adjective boring describes the plot.
Remember that if something is the adjective ends in I N G and if it makes you feel something.
The adjective ends in e d Let's have a look at the examples below.
He is excited because the event is exciting.
Note that the adjective excited modifies the pronoun she and it tells us how or what the event made
him feel in the adjective exciting describes what the event is and in the sentence I am annoyed because
the whole situation is annoying.
Note that the adjective annoyed describes what I felt about the whole situation in the adjective annoying
describes with the whole situation is
now sometimes we use two or more adjectives together let's have a look at the table below a nice sunny
morning.
Now there are two adjectives describing the noun morning the adjective nice describes quality or opinion
in the adjective Sunny is a fact
and in the sentence to intelligent young ladies there are three adjectives modifying the now ladies
the adjective two is the quantity or the number of ladies and the adjective intelligent describes the
quantity or opinion about the ladies in the adjective Young is a fact and in the sentence a beautiful
large round wooden table there are sets of adjectives describing the noun table beautiful the quality
or opinion large round wooden is the fact
now there are times when we use two or more fact adjectives.
Let's have a look at the table below a big old round wooden table.
Now in this sentence we used several fact adjectives big describes the sides of the table old the age
of the table round shape of the table wooden material or origin of the table and the sentence new white
tennis shoes.
There are three fact adjectives used to describe the noun shoes new describes the eight white the color
and ten is the purpose and sentence a tall young Polish boy the adjective tall describes the size of
the boy young the age of the boy polish the origin of the boy
on the other hand an adverb is a word or set of words that modifies a verbs telling us how how often
when or where something was done for example the cars drove fast the adverb fast describes how the cars
drove b an adverb is also used to modify adjectives making them stronger or weaker.
Have a look at the example below and looked absolutely amazing.
The adverb absolutely modifies or describes the adjective amazing how amazing c an adverb is used to
modify other adverbs changing their degree or precision.
For example you speaking too loudly the adverb to describes the adverb loudly.
It tells us how loud degree.
