My Amazing, Loving, Fun Family

My Amazing, Loving, Fun Family

Everyone has people in their lives that they cannot live without. Whether it is their intelligent best friend, their loving boyfriend, or their fashionable sister, these people are what make life more enjoyable. To me, family is everything. They are what make my days better and easier. My tall, athletic, funny, and silly brother is someone that I can easily call my best friend. We have grown up together, laughed together, and cried together, and that is something that not everyone has, especially those who are only children. My beautiful, caring mother is someone that I have always gone to whenever I had a problem. Lastly, my dad is the man that holds our family together. He is kind, generous, and strong. Aside from my immediate family, my two beautiful cousins are the closest things that I have as sisters. I talk to them almost every day and we always have long, funny conversations. The family members that I have in my life are fantastic people!

Grammar Point

In the section above, I discussed my family and told you exactly why I could not live without them. The words that are bolded are words that I used to describe each member of my family. These words are commonly known as adjectives. An adjective is another word that is used to make a noun more specific. For example: The short boy. The tall woman. The pretty girl. The handsome man. All of the bolded words are used to describe the nouns that they are attached to.
