Adjectives Flashcards

A word that describes or modifies a noun, providing more information about it.

The direct and clear description provided by the adjective.

The implied or suggested ideas conveyed by the adjective.

Adjectives can influence the tone by creating a positive, negative, or neutral mood.

Adjectives contribute to imagery by helping readers visualise or imagine details more vividly.

Adjectives can reflect the writer's perspective or attitude towards the subject.

Adjectives are used to emphasise qualities and persuade the audience, e.g., 'amazing', 'essential'.

Adjectives enhance descriptions by adding detail and specificity, e.g., 'bright', 'shimmering'.

The choice of adjectives can reflect the level of formality appropriate to the audience and purpose.

When analysing adjectives, consider their connotations, effects, and how they shape the reader's understanding.
