Adjective & 79 English sentenses that use adjectives
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It's easy to understand simple adjectives. They're words like "big", "green", "young", and "expensive". Other adjectives are harder to spot.
Simple Adjectives
Adjectives tell something about a noun, like:
size
three small holes
color
a black jacket
age
the old tree
emotion
a scared kitten
value
your cheapest pair of sunglasses
...and many other qualities.
Adjective Phrases
Sometimes several words can work together to act like an adjective. For example:
the man on the roof
In this example, the phrase "on the roof" describes the location of the man. So although it's several words, it's activn like an adjective.
Adjective Position
Simple adjectives mostly come before the noun like in the examples above. But they can also come at the end of the sentence when connected by a verb like "is", "looks", "seems", "sounds", etc.:
He's incredibly tall.
This spot seems OK.

Adjective phrases usually come after the noun:
I like coffee with cream and sugar.

She is out of her mind!
It's possible for an adjective phrase to come before a noun, but in that case it's usually hyphenated:
