Grammar Describing words We went to a beautiful beach on Sunday. It was a bright day, and there were big waves in the sea. My parents had carried five sandwiches and juicy apples for us. After playing in the water, we spent time counting the boats and ships on the water. There were eight ships! The beach also had yellow sand. We made a tall sandcastle with the sand. It was a fun day. The words ‘beautiful’, ‘bright’, ‘big’, ‘five’, ‘juicy’, ’eight’, ‘yellow’, ‘tall’ and ‘fun’ tell us more about the naming words. They are describing words. Describing words usually come before naming words. Describing words can be of many kinds. They answer questions about naming words such as ‘what kind?’ and ‘how many?’. 50
