Adjectives Illustrated- But Which Ones?

Today I read an ________________________(noun) about creating a self-assignment for your photography.

It made me _________________________(verb)  about what I might like to try to photograph.

Then I  ____________________________(verb)  at what I’d already photographed.

(Chose a word – like  Mad Libs ™  (Did you know Mad Libs™ was created in 1958?)                         

 

I was looking for images to go with the ____________ (adj) Strawberry I photographed on the _____________(adj. )porch this afternoon- it seemed to have a __________________(adj. )mouth.

I added the ________________________ (adj.) eyes and ears.

 

Adjective defined by Merriam-Webster  : a word belonging to one of the major form classes in any of numerous languages and typically serving as a modifier of a noun to denote a quality of the thing named, to indicate its quantity or extent, or to specify a thing as distinct from something else

and the Writing Centre University of Ottawa has an accessible definition and examples  (not that you need them but I was refreshing my grammar knowledge)

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies.

In the following examples, the highlighted words are adjectives:

The truck-shaped balloon floated over the treetops.
Mrs. Morrison papered her kitchen walls with hideous wall paper.
The small boat foundered on the wine dark sea.
The coal mines are dark and dank.
Many stores have already begun to play irritating Christmasmusic.
battered music box sat on the mahogany sideboard.
The back room was filled with largeyellow rain boots.

  2. What an adorable strawberry indeed Ruth! I love the beautiful night light and that gnome is just too precious! Thanks for sharing hon. 🙂 *big hugs*

  3. Great shots, Ruth. What I like most about the sleeping sock monkey is not just that he’s asleep in a camo sleeping bag but that there’s a box of toy soldiers– his troops? — right next to him.

  4. Nutty strawbery face; clumsy groggy stranchions; chameleon-like origami (not an adjective???); multi-masking, multi-tasking like dispenser; jolly chubby garden gnome; it’s fun, I like that !
