Our Intermediate English class is beginning to work on writing essays commenting on literature. As we began teaching about imagery, however, it was clear that a sizable number of them really don’t have an understanding of adjectives.
So, I’ve developed this list of good online resources where students can practice what we’re learning in the classroom about adjectives. They’re simple — no discussion of adverbs, nothing about adjective order, etc. These sites are useful in helping English Language Learners just gain a basic sense of what an adjective is and how it’s used.
Here are my choices for The Best Sites For Gaining A Basic Understanding Of Adjectives (not listed in any order):
Enchanted Learning: Adjectives
Mrs. Haquet from Frenchfrog’s Little English Pond has developed another great interactive. This one is on Physical Descriptions.
Describing People is a simple exercise to help English Language Learners learn about adjectives.
Describing people (Listening Quiz)

I wondered if you knew of any sites for adjectives equal to ‘Editminion’?
I’m writing a book and had a review telling me that I use too many adjectives and adverbs. Editminion helps me quickly locate the adverbs, but I was hoping to find something equal to it for the adjectives.
Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work.
