Fascinating Fact:

Many famous quotes sound powerful because of their adjectives, such as “a small step for man” and “a giant leap for mankind.”

In KS2 English, pupils learn how adjectives bring writing to life by describing nouns and adding detail. Understanding adjectives helps writers choose words that express tone, feeling, and clarity.

Key Terms

Adjective: A word that describes a noun, such as “shiny,” “brave,” or “gentle.”
Modifier: A word or phrase that changes or adds to the meaning of another word.
Superlative: The highest degree of comparison, such as “tallest” or “brightest.”

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are adjectives in KS2 English?

Adjectives are describing words that add detail to nouns. They make sentences more interesting and help readers imagine what is being described.

Why are adjectives important in writing?

They help writers show emotion, create images, and make ideas clearer – turning plain sentences into vivid ones that capture attention.

How can pupils improve their use of adjectives?

By reading widely, noticing how authors use adjectives, and practising writing sentences that use stronger, more specific describing words.
