What Are Adjectives?

An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun. Adjectives help us paint a clearer picture in our writing by telling us more about people, places, things, or ideas.

Adjectives can describe:

• Size: big, tiny, enormous, small
• Color: red, blue, golden, dark
• Shape: round, square, curved, flat
• Feeling: happy, sad, excited, nervous
• Texture: smooth, rough, bumpy, soft
• Age: old, new, young, ancient
• Quality: beautiful, ugly, delicious, terrible

Examples:

• The red car is fast. (red describes the color of the car)
• That is a huge mountain! (huge describes the size of the mountain)
• She wore a beautiful dress. (beautiful describes the quality of the dress)

Important Tip: Adjectives can be found before OR after the noun in a sentence!

• Before: The fast car zoomed by.
• After: The car is fast.
