    Adjective
    fast

    That is a fastccar.
    Noun
    What are Adjectives
     Generally, adjectives explain or describe nouns by giving little information
    regarding an object’s shape, size, age, color, material or origin.
     The simple explanation of an adjective is that adjective is a word which
    explains or describes or clarifies a noun.
    Articles are adjectives :
    A dog
    The happy girl
    An apple
    Some apples
    Few people

    Numbers are adjectives:


    Five books
    Twenty papers
    Adjectives are colors:
    brown boxes
    the blue sky
    green apples

    Adjectives are shapes:


    round containers
    a square room
    Adjectives are sizes:
    tiny egg
    huge gorilla JIUCH

    Adjectives are conditions:


    frightened man
    QuickTime™ and a
    GIF decompressor
    are needed to see this picture.

    energetic dog QuickTime™ and a


    GIF decompressor
    are needed to see this picture.

    QuickTime™ and a
    GIF decompressor

    silly behavior
    are needed to see this picture.
    Adjectives can also be:
    1. Phrases:
    A cat with orange fur is always in
    the driveway.
    2. Clauses:
    Everyone who wants to go needs
    to get on the bus.

    3. Participles:
    The flashing lights were cameras.
    Rule 1: Adjectives usually come
    BEFORE the noun they describe:
    Examples:
    the tall man
    the black cat
    Note: The articles (a, an, the) are
    adjectives.
    Exception to Rule 1: When indefinite
    pronouns (such as something, someone,
    anybody) are modified by an adjective, the
    adjective comes after the indefinite
    pronoun:
    Someone guilty of doing something cruel to
    humans or animals deserves to be punished.
    Exception to Rule No. 1:
    When adjectives follow a linking verb, they
    are called PREDICATE ADJECTIVES. In
    this case they modify the noun subject, but
    they are in the predicate of the sentence.
    Examples:
    Juana is beautiful.
    Ahmed looks handsome.
    That boy appears too young to drive.
    Another exception to Rule No. 1:
    Adjective clauses and phrases
    follow the noun they modify.
    Examples:
    A woman who works in my
    office is not here today.
    You can wear the suit in the
    closet.
    Adjectives have three forms depending on the number of nouns
    being described or compared.

    Positive Comparative Superlative


    (Describing (Comparing (Comparing
    one) two) -er + three or
    than more) the + -
    est
    tall taller than the tallest

    rich richer than the richest

    big bigger than the biggest
