Year 2 – Autumn Block 3 – Word Classes – What are Adjectives?

Notes and Guidance


• Children may know that words can describe nouns but may not know or remember the term adjectives.
• Adjectives are words that are used to give more information about a noun. The words can describe many things including
colour, size and texture.
• Children should also be introduced to the term expanded noun phrase to refer to a noun which has been modified by one
or more adjectives. Please note that other types of words can be used in an expanded noun phrase but this step focuses
mainly on using adjectives.

Focused Questions
• What words can you use to describe this noun?
• Is this word an adjective or a noun? How do you know?
