Describing words are adjectives that tell more about a person, animal, place, or thing, like big, small, happy, tall, and soft, and they make sentences clearer for early learners.
Children should look at the picture or noun and pick a word that matches, like “red apple” or “fast car,” which helps avoid confusion in Class 1 grammar practice.
Kids may use adjectives as nouns or forget the noun, so practice with “adjective + noun” pairs and sentence-building activities in a grammar worksheet builds strong understanding.
