Adjectives describe nouns by telling what someone or something is like. They can describe color, size, shape, number, or other qualities. Adverbs describe verbs by telling how, when, or where an action happens. For example, in The happy dog ran quickly, happy is an adjective because it describes dog, and quickly is an adverb because it describes ran. In these 2nd grade grammar quizzes, students practice telling the difference between adjectives and adverbs in simple sentences.
