So we unpacked our adjectives.
I unpacked
“frustrating” first.
Reached in and found the word
“worst”.
Then I picked “soggy” and
Next I
picked “foggy” and
Then I was ready to tell them my
tale.
‘Cause I’d unpacked my adjectives.

Handy words to carry around.

Days are sunny or they’re rainy
Boys are dumb or
else they’re brainy
Adjectives can show you which way.

Adjectives are often used to help us
compare things,
To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall.

Girls who are tall can get
taller,
Boys who are small can get smaller,
Till one is the
tallest
And the other’s the smallest of all.
We hiked along
without care.
Then we ran into a bear.
He was a hairy bear,
He
was a scary bear,
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair.
And
described him with adjectives.
[spoken]That was one big, ugly
bear!
[spoken] You can even make adjectives out of the other
parts of speech, like verbs or nouns. All you have to do is tack on
an ending like “-ic” or “-ish” or “-ary”.
For example, this girl can grow up to be a beautiful woman – but
still have a girlish face. “Girl” is a noun, but the ending
“-ish” makes it an adjective – girlish. That describes the
beautiful woman’s face, get it?
Next time you go on a
trip,
Remember this little tip:
The minute you get
back,
They’ll ask you this and that,
You can describe people,
places and things…
Simply unpack your adjectives.
You can
do it with adjectives.
Tell them ’bout it with adjectives.
You
can shout it with adjectives.
