How can I create a richer description?
1. By using adjectives: adorable, angelic, creepy, and lean.
2. By using similes: I am so thirsty, that my throat is as dry as a bone.Watching the show was like watching grass grow.
3. By using metaphors: He is the apple of my eye.

• Simile: A simile is a comparison between things that are alike. Similes compare two things by using “like” or “as.”
• Metaphor: A metaphor is a comparison between things that do not use “like” or “as.”

What is a compound adjective?A compound adjective is used when two adjectives are
combined using a hyphen to change how you describe a verb.
Ex: The five-year-old boy wanted the red balloon.
However, if the age comes after the noun (or after a noun and a verb, such as "Rudolph is" below), then it doesn’t need a hyphen because it isn't directly changing the noun.
Ex: Rudolph is two years old.
