Describing words tell more about a person, place, or thing. They are also called adjectives. These words give details that make sentences more interesting and clear.
Describing words answer questions like “What kind?” “Which one?” or “How many?”
Describing words make sentences stronger by adding details. They tell us more about the noun in the sentence.
Look for the noun first, then see what word is telling more about it. That word is the describing word.
Some describing words tell about size, color, or shape. Others tell how something feels, tastes, or sounds. All of them add detail to sentences.
Describing words can use your senses—what you see, hear, feel, taste, or smell.
To find the describing word in a sentence, look for the noun and ask, “What kind?” or “Which one?” The word that answers is usually the describing word.
Try covering the describing word. Does the sentence still make sense? If yes, then adding the describing word makes the sentence stronger.
Using describing words helps make writing more colorful and clear. Practice by choosing words that tell more about the noun in your sentence.
Choose describing words that give your reader a clear picture in their mind.
