How to locate an adjective:

1. Find a noun or pronoun

2. Ask the questions that adjectives answer before the noun or pronoun. (which or which ones, what kind of, how many, and whose)

3. Locate the articles. (a, an, the)

For example:

The brown dog barked.

1. Okay, first look for the noun or pronoun. In this case, the noun happens to be dog.

2. Now, ask the questions adjectives answer before the noun. Which dog? Which ones dog? What kind of dog? How many dog? Whose dog?

3. Okay, so the only one that makes sense is What kind of. Your adjective is brown and brown answers the question what kind of dog.

4. Locate the articles. These will always answer the questions which or which ones. Which dog? The dog.

1. Find the nouns in a sentence. They are words for people, places, and things. 2. Look for words that help to describe the nouns. 3. Those words that describe nouns are the adjectives. Mr. Jones was tall and had curly, brown hair. His old coat had green buttons and one torn sleeve. The nouns are: The adjectives are: Mr. Jones tall hair curly, brown coat his, old buttons green sleeve one, torn

An adjective modifies a noun or pronoun to give more information about it. Adjectives make sentences clearer and more informative. "The dog ran after the squirrel" becomes "The large black dog ran after the quick little squirrel."

Pronouns are usually modified by using linking verbs.

"He is very tall" - tall is the adjective

Nouns can be modified with adjectives directly before them, or following a linking verb.

"I saw a tall man across the street." - tall is the adjective

"Bob seems tall for his age. - tall is the adjective

An adjective describes a noun, a person, place or thing. The adjective usually appears before the noun, but not always. For example, in "blue sky", blue is the adjective describing sky. In poetry, adjectives often follow the noun, for added interest and drama, such as a "heart broken" where broken is the adjective. Adjectives also appear after verbs, such "the iron is hot", where hot describes the state of the iron.
