As you write, you can make a sentence much more interesting if you add descriptive words.

These descriptive words are called adjectives. They name names.

Nameis the name of a person, place, thing or idea.

Adjectiveis a word that describes a noun.

Another rule is that more than one adjective can come before the noun. Adjectives can be separated by commas or written without a comma.

  • small fat man - little fat ADAM
  • thin, tall woman - thin and long woman

Red dress = adjective + noun

hot water = adjective + noun

my car = adjective + noun

This pen = adjective + noun

Keeping Score in American Football

Keeping score in American football is more difficult than keeping score in soccer. In soccer, each goal is worth one point. For example, if a team scores five goals in a game, then the team's score is five points. In American football, the scoring system is different. When a player carries the ball across the end zone, he scores a touchdown. A touchdown is worth six points. When a player kicks the football between the goal posts, that team gets one point or three points. Another sport that has easy scoring is basketball.
