This week we are going to work on adjectives.
1. Adjective: A word that describes a noun. Examples: the blue jeans, a cold night, the noisy party.
2. Prestigious: Being highly regarded, respected, or honored; having high status or considered important. Example: The boys in Dead Poets Society go to a prestigious high school, Welton Academy.
3. Idyllic: Charming, unspoiled or old fashioned; with story-like characteristics. Example: I love living on a ranch. The clear night sky, the peaceful sounds of wild animals and the smell of nature--it's a very idyllic lifestyle.
4. Opulent: Rich, wealthy, excessive; spending money on extreme luxury items. Example: LeBron James' $17 million Florida home is very opulent.
5. Paltry: A ridiculously small amount. Example: I quit my job at the mall. They were paying me a paltry amount of money for all of the work I was doing.
6. Forthright: Being direct, upfront, to the point. Example: The teacher was forthright about the difficulty of the test; she said we would have to spend many hours studying for it.
7. Embellished: Covered in decorations. Example: She wore a red embellished dress to prom.
8. Brisk: Quick and active; lively. Example: I went on a brisk jog this morning to clear my mind.
9. Ambitious: Desiring of success; eager; putting in above-average effort. Example: He's very ambitious; he's taking three A.P. classes and a class at the college.
10. Monumental: Massive; exceptionally great. Example: I made monumental progress on my paper last night.
