Definition

An adjective describes or modifies noun/s and pronoun/s in a sentence. It normally indicates quality, size, shape, duration, feelings, contents, and more about a noun or pronoun.

Adjectives usually provide relevant information about the nouns/pronouns they modify/describe by answering the questions: What kind? How many? Which one? How much? Adjectives enrich your writing by adding precision and originality to it.

Example:

• The team has a dangerous batsman. (What kind?)
• I have ten candies in my pocket. (How many?)
• I loved that red car. (Which one?)
• I earn more money than he does. (How much?)

Definition:

“An adjective is a word used to qualify a noun or a pronoun.”

Every word that modifies a noun is an adjective. Adjectives make changes in our perception of the nouns.

Examples:

• Ramon has always been a Marxist.
• I don’t believe in platonic love. 
• Jocasta was a Serbian player. 
• Japanese products are reliable.
• If you do not understand the Kantian ethics, you can come to me.
• I have a grammar book on my desk.
• We used to have an old car. 
• He brought an expensive mirror for me.
• She gave me some gorgeous red roses. 
• He wanted to buy a diamond ring. 
• These mangoes are not edible anymore.  
• He can’t forget that incident. 
• My computer became slow.
• Our father asked us to be together always.
• Your bike has been stolen from here.
• Alex bought an exquisite diamond ring.

However, there are also many adjectives which do not fit into these questions. Adjectives are the most used parts of speech in sentences. There are several types of adjectives according to their uses.
