An adjective gives information about a noun. Colour, size and shape words help a listener identify something. In “a small green leaf”, small and green describe leaf. Select details that distinguish the object instead of adding many words. An adjective can appear before the noun or after be: “The leaf is green”. Both structures can describe the same thing clearly.
Read the first model carefully: “A narrow road leads home.” Notice how its words work together to communicate one clear meaning. The second model, “The flowers are yellow.”, shows a different use of the same lesson idea. Compare the choices rather than memorising a whole sentence. In a new situation, choose the meaning you need first, then select the words and structure that express it. Read or say the result once more to check that another person can understand it.

Possessive words show who something belongs to or is connected with. My refers to the speaker, your to the listener, and his or her to an identified person. They usually come before a noun: my book, her bicycle. Use the same reference throughout a sentence so the reader knows whose object it is. Do not add an apostrophe to these possessive words.

Directions tell someone how to reach a place. Begin from a clear starting point. Use action words such as go, turn and cross, and add landmarks to make the route easier to follow. Left and right depend on the traveller’s direction. Present the steps in order and use short sentences. For real journeys, an adult should check that the route and road crossings are safe.
