VOCABULARY What is Vocabulary? Vocabulary is a list, collection, or group of words that are known by someone. Your vocabulary is all the words you know how to pronounce, what they mean, and how to use them in a sentence too. Over time, your vocabulary grows in number, which means you learn more words as you get older! Your vocabulary includes many kinds of words such as adjectives, adverbs, synonyms, antonyms, and even homographs. What is an Adjective? An adjective is a word that describes a noun. Example: The frightened cat ran up the crooked staircase. Frightened and crooked are adjectives. The word frightened describes the cat and the word crooked describes the staircase in the sentence above. Count the adjectives: How many adjectives are in the following sentence? The aged boat floated upon the calm, peaceful water. Did you find 3 adjectives? If you did, you found all the adjectives in the sentence! Aged, calm, and peaceful are all adjectives. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only.
