Hello. Thanks so much for this Adjective websight. I am home schooling our youngest daughter, as she is adopted from China and is learning English as a second language. Your pages have helped me tremendously. Our daughter is also blind; so I am able to transcribe your lists into Braille. God Bless you and Thank you so much.
