Let's solve the problem step by step.
Task:
Circle the adjectives in the grid.
Hint Given:
> *Adjectives are words that describe people, places, or things.*

Step 1: Understand What an Adjective Is
An
adjective is a word that describes a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea). It tells us
what kind,
how many, or
which one.
Examples:
- "pretty" describes how someone looks → adjective
- "tall" describes height → adjective
- "expensive" describes cost → adjective
But:
- "girl" is a person → noun
- "boy" is a person → noun
- "car" is a thing → noun
So we need to identify which words in the grid
describe nouns.
