Adjectives are words that describe or give more information about nouns (people, places, things, or ideas). They can describe qualities (like happy, blue, tall), quantities (like few, many), or indicate which one (like this, that).
Adjectives usually come before the noun they describe (a red apple) or after a linking verb like be (The apple is red). They help make our speaking and writing more detailed and interesting.
