I am a novice writer. I feel comfortable using verbs and nouns, but at which point will I be ready for?

Question

adjectives? Adverbs scare me to death. I just need to go slowly.

♫ So unpack your adjectives! ♫

Got home from camping last spring.
Saw people, places and things.
We barely had arrived,
Friends asked us to describe
The people, places and every last thing.
So we unpacked our adjectives.

I unpacked "frustrating" first.
Reached in and found the word "worst".
Then I picked "soggy" and
Next I picked "foggy" and
Then I was ready to tell them my tale.
'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives.

Adjectives are words you use to really describe things,
Handy words to carry around.
Days are sunny or they're rainy
Boys are dumb or else they're brainy
Adjectives can show you which way.

Adjectives are often used to help us compare things,
To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall.
Girls who are tall can get taller,
Boys who are small can get smaller,
Till one is the tallest
And the other's the smallest of all.

We hiked along without care.
Then we ran into a bear.
He was a hairy bear,
He was a scary bear,
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair.
And described him with adjectives.

Now....... dear Chuck.. don't get all nervous or you're going to make me have to sing ♫Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here.Got a lot of lolly, jolly adverbs here. ♫

Answer 2

You should not try using adjectives until your third year, at least, since they can be extremely dangerous. You might try using an occasional preposition though. Conjunctions can be really fun to use.

Answer 3

At some point, you will become an amateur, then finally at the top of the heap, and then you get to use pronouns!

I just hate those amateur nouns.

Answer 4

Conjunctives are the most fun to play with!

Answer 5

I would suggest just skipping those dang things Chuck, they just make me feel all descriptive anyway.
