Adjectives

Adjectives
Adjectives describe or give information about nouns.

The good news is that the form of adjectives does not change, it does not matter if the noun being modified is male or female, singular or plural, subject or object.

Some adjectives give us factual information about the noun - age, size colour etc (fact adjectives - can't be argued with). Some adjectives show what somebody thinks about something or somebody - nice, horrid, beautiful etc (opinion adjectives - not everyone may agree).

Opinion
Adjectives can be used to give your opinion about something.

good, pretty, right, wrong, funny, light, happy, sad, full, soft, hard etc.

For example:

He was a silly boy.

big, small, little, long, tall, short, same as, etc.

For example:

Purpose
Adjectives can be used to describe purpose. (These adjectives often end with "-ing".)

For example:

!Note - In each case the adjective stays the same, whether it is describing a maculine, feminine, singular or plural noun.

When using more than one adjective to modify a noun, the adjectives may be separated by a conjunction (and) or by commas (,).

For example:

"Her hair was long and blonde." or "She had long, blonde hair."
More examples:

Adjective Pretty Serious Fast Quiet
Example She was a pretty girl. He was a serious boy. It was a fast car. They were quiet children.

Adjectives can be used after some verbs. They do not describe the verb, adverbs do that. Adjectives after a verb describe the subject of the verb (usually a noun or pronoun).

For example:

"David looks tired". The subject (in this case David) is being described as tired not the verb to look.
There is also the adjective used to, which is explained here.
