For the parent. Your child has been learning about adjectives. There is a short quiz tomorrow. It is low stakes and not graded — it is so the teacher can see who needs a little more help.
For you. Tomorrow's quiz is about adjectives. Here is what is on it.
Adjective
What your child has been taught to say:
A adjective is a word that tells us more about a naming word.
The question they ask themselves:
“Which one? What kind? How many?”
The small boy carried a heavy bag. → adjective
Ask “Which one? What kind? How many?” — it works, so it is adjective.
yellow → adjective
Ask “Which one? What kind? How many?” — it works, so it is adjective.
Watch for this: Marks the noun as the adjective — “Which one is the THING? Then the other one is telling you about it.”
Try these together
These are new sentences — your child has not seen them. Five minutes is plenty.
shiny
crooked
Answers — for the grown-up helping
| 1 | the adjective |

If it is hard: Pick up any book and read one sentence together. Ask the question in the blue box about one word in it. Five minutes is plenty — and if it is still hard tomorrow, please tell the teacher; there is a practice sheet for exactly this.
