Adjective

  • It was a very 'cold' day.
  • My friend is very tall with brown eyes
  • They are good people.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. Nouns are words that name a place, a person, a thing, or an idea. An adjective is a word that gives more information about the noun that goes with it. It is a part of speech.

Often, the adjective is before the noun it describes. Sometimes an adjective is not followed by a noun:

  • The sky is blue.
  • The joke she told was so nice, I could not stop laughing all day.
  • It is still an adjective, because we could have "the blue sky", "the funny joke", and "the crazy man". The adjective is still describing the noun though they are not side by side.
  • There is a tall man.

An adjective is a word that gives instant information about a noun to make a clear picture of the noun in the mind of the reader and create a feeling to the writer.
