We use adjectives to give more information about a noun or pronoun. Adjectives can describe taste, touch, sound, size, shape, appearance, amounts and emotion. Most adjectives can be used before a noun.

Importance of Grammar

Each sentence is more than a pile of words that is jumbled up! The most important element of English language studies is grammar.

Grammar is the key to speaking English fluently and confidently when spoken correctly. Knowing the grammar concepts will help speakers avoid errors that can make their English sound strange to native speakers. Grammar shows diligence and an eye for detail.

Well spoken grammar doesn’t come naturally for second language speakers. For native speakers like myself, we have the benefits of learning the structures from a young age from listening. Learning grammar takes time and requires the student to practice it proactively to use it effectively. For young learners who are new to English, it is important that the teacher does the following;

• Be patient with the student. It won’t come naturally
• Explain the concept clearly and remind the student of how to use it effectively
• Always use the concept in an example, full sentences are best
• Be thorough with correction. Consistency is key

Kindergarten Grammar

Grammar is highly important in Kindergarten. Young learners learn the structures in the English language early on. They can pick up the patterns quickly, so it is vital that teachers speak in proper sentences throughout their learning.

Using resources like the Kindergarten Adjectives powerpoint will allow students to get more familiar of why we use certain words. The biggest obstacle in many young learners is figuring when to use certain and types of words. A few things I have noticed in my Kindergarten classes in regards to grammar that should be noted;

• translation leading to bad grammar structures
• inconsistency of using the right vocabulary
• lack of guidance at home

Teaching English as a second language is tough, especially teaching grammar concepts to Kindergarten level students. It takes time, be consistent with your speech and dialect.

I have many resources on my website that focus on teaching students the proper English structures early on. Visit my resources page and have a look at my worksheets to get a better idea.
