Adjectives are words that are used to describe a noun such as people, places, and things. Being descriptive helps give a better idea about what you are trying to say. These descriptive words give information about size, shape, age, colour, origin, material, purpose, feelings, condition, and personality, or texture. Think about how you would describe your mother, teacher, best friend, cat, dog, bedroom, or favourite piece of clothing. Here are some examples of adjectives.

An example: “The pretty bird sang.” The adjective in this sentence is ‘pretty’ because it describes the noun, which is the word ‘bird’.

Sometimes, a sentence can have more than one adjective. For example: “I saw a big, shaggy, old dog on my way back home from school.” There are three adjectives in this sentence – ‘big’, ‘shaggy’ and ‘old’, because these three words describe what the dog (the noun) was like.

Here are a few more sentences for you to get the hang of identifying adjectives.
