Adjectives Come On Now

Adjectives Come On Now
Written by Robin Bracken

Sing to: Get Busy by Sean Paul


Adjectives- how many?
Adjectives- what kind?
Adjectives- which one?
It’s Adjectives time

Get busy, describing that noun
adjectives nearly always appear
immediately before the noun
come on you hear me let’s get busy
create pictures in the reader's
mind
Make it so real you take em on a ride
The sentence is flowin’ now
It’s so smooth
It’s magic –WOW!

[Chorus]
Adjectives describe a noun
Describe a noun
Describe a noun
Adjectives they modify
They modify
They modify
The Articles — a, an, and the — are adjectives
Are adjectives
Common and proper
Let’s get it on…Let’s get it on
Adjectives describe a noun
Adjectives describe a noun

Comparisons are known as the positive, the comparative, and the superlative.
Comparative compares two things
The Superlative compares three or more
Luan is funny, but Kyle is funnier, but Roman is the funniest in town.
Positive, comparative, superlative
They compare!

[Chorus]


Add -er and -est to form
most comparatives and superlatives,
although we need -ier and -iest
when a two-syllable
adjective ends in y
like happier and happiest
or use more and most
when an adjective
has more than two syllables


[Chorus]

Adjectives come on now
Size, Shape, Age and Color
Adjectives come on now
Size, Shape, Age and Color

rich richer richest
lovely lovelier loveliest
beautiful more beautiful
most beautiful

Come on!

[Chorus]

Adjectives come on now
this, that, these, and those
Adjectives come on now
this, that, these, and those

good better best
bad worse worst
little less least
far further furthest
