💡 Adjectives - Describing words!
Adjectives describe nouns (people, animals, things, places). They tell us what something is like.
| Adjective | What it describes | Example sentence |
|---|---|---|
| bold | brave, fearless | The penguin is bold. |
| small | not big in size | The baby is small. |
| cold | low temperature | Antarctica is very cold. |
| different | not the same | This penguin is different. |
| easy | simple to do | They are easy to identify. |
| short | not long in time/length | They take short naps. |
| tiny | very very small | These are tiny naps. |
| large | big in size | A large group of penguins. |
⭐Adjectives go BEFORE the noun: a cold place, a bold penguin, a short nap. Or AFTER "is/are": The place is cold. Penguins are bold.

Sequence words in the penguin text!
The scientists watched the penguins to see if they were sleeping. Then, they filmed the penguins all day and all night to see how long their eyes were shut. The team found that the penguins had thousands of naps a day. All of those mini sleeps added up to 11 hours of sleep a day.
➜ "Then" is a sequence word that tells us the NEXT thing that happened!
