An adjective describes (tells us more about) a noun or a pronoun. For example: "student" is a noun. But we can say more about the student in our sentence by using an adjective: intelligent student; clever student; lazy student; good student... etc. So, here is a sentence: The teacher says Marie is a good student. (The adjective "good" describes Marie-- it tells us more about her.)
The main purpose of an adjective is to modify or describe a noun or pronoun. Such as, I saw the dog. You would want to know what kind of dog. Was it brown, big, small, white, fast, slow, old etc.
