The Adjective Song

(sung to the tune of ÒSchool DaysÓ by Chuck Berry)

 

An adjective describes a noun

There are eight types youÕve got to get down

Descriptive adjectives, there are a lot

Short, fat, skinny and hot

Indefinite articles ÒanÓ and ÒaÓ

Definite ÒtheÓ is all you say.

 

Demonstratives, there are four to know

This, that, these, and those

Interrogatives are what, whose and which.

Limiting have too many to list

But words like Òall,Ó Òsome,Ó Òany,Ó or Òfew,Ó

ÒSeveral,Ó ÒotherÓ and numbers, too.

 

These are possessives so learn them too

My, your, his, her, its, our, their, whose

Proper adjectives youÕve got to try

American people, French fry

Comparatives: good, better, and best

Tall, taller, tallest and all the rest.
