1: An adjective is a word which modifies a noun or a pronoun. In the example below:
He’s got a beautiful car
Beautiful is an adjective modifying car(it gives more information about the noun car.)
2.-Adjectives may come before a noun
He found a nice job
3.-Adjectives may also come after certain verbs like be, feel, seem, look:
He is intelligent
I feel happy
She seems unhappy
They look fantastic
Adjectives versus adverbs
A distinction must be made between adjectives and adverbs.
1.-An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun.
She lives in a big house.
2.-An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
She sings well
Her house is very big
She did it really well
Comparatives and superlatives
Adjectives can be used for comparison: New York is bigger than Paris. This is the nicest student in the class
Other noun modifiers
There are other noun modifiers which function very much like adjectives:
1.-Nouns can function as adjectives. A noun can help describe an object.
A business meeting
2.-Past participle can also be used to modify a noun
He was exhausted
The hidden secret
3.-Compound adjectives are used to modify nouns. They are called compound because they are made up of two or more words, usually with hyphens between them.
