Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing adjectives with nouns — thinking naming words like 'cat' or 'ball' are describing words when they actually name things.
• Confusing adjectives with verbs — picking action words like 'run' or 'jump' instead of describing words like 'fast' or 'tall'.
• Forgetting that adjectives describe nouns — using a describing word without connecting it to a person, place, or thing.
