📝 Explanation:
Each of these words modifies a noun (like *knife*, *sky*, *clown*, *shoes*, etc.) by telling us
what kind it is — its
color, size, smell, emotion, or quality. That’s exactly what adjectives do!
---
💡 Bonus Notes:
- The note on the side says: *"MANY SPOTS - VERY IMPORTANT"*, which might be a hint to check carefully — but we’ve covered all the adjectives.
- The "Story Time!" box at the bottom adds fun context, but it’s not part of the main task.
