Students learn the difference between adjectives, which describe nouns, and adverbs, which describe verbs and often end in -ly. They sort words by their job in a sentence, turn adjectives into adverbs, find both kinds in sentences, and use them in their own writing. Telling these two word classes apart helps students choose the right word and makes their descriptions sharper.
