In addition to adjectives, articles also describe nouns. The articles are a, an, and the.
A predicate is the verb and the words that relate to that verb. The words that describe the verb are adverbs; adjectives and articles describe nouns that are included in a predicate. Examples:
A dog ran past us. (the article 'a' describes the dog as any dog; the adverb 'past' describes where the dog ran)
The dog ran fast. (the article 'the' describes the dog as a specific dog; the adverb 'fast' describes how the dog ran)
An angry dog barked loudly last night. (the article 'an' describes the dog as any dog; the adjective 'angry' describes the mood of the dog) (the complete predicate is 'barked loudly last night'; the adverb 'loudly' describes how the dog barked; the adjective 'last' describes the noun 'night')
Another group of words that describe nouns are pronoun determiners. The pronoun determiners are: Possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, their, its.
Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those.
Numeral pronouns: some, any, few, many, none, all.
Distributive pronouns:each, either, none, neither.

Can about be an adjective?
An article is only one of the words "the", "a" or "an". These words are not adjectives because they cannot without loss of sense replace adjectives in all attributive contexts: for example, "the red box" cannot be changed to "the the box". The articles appear only before common nouns in Received English and must precede adjectives: "box the red" is parsed by English listeners and readers not as "the red box" but as "boxing" the red. Like adjectives, the articles are dependent words. If the word they modify is removed they have no place. But they are different from adjectives. cf Sydney Greenbaum, OXFORD REFERENCE GRAMMAR, oup 2000. "The definite and indefinite articles are determiners." "Determiners introduce noun phrases".
What are emphasizing adjectives?
Emphasizing adjectives are modifiers which, unlike prototypical or central adjectives, do not describe a property of the head noun, but which convey strong speaker feelings toward the entity referred to. Examples sheer madness or whole acres of land. The refer not only to the head noun but the phrase and infer a feeling of the speaker which makes them more than just descriptors of the noun, but descriptors of the speaker. Also they can't be intensified in anyway like very sheer madness or very whole acres of land, both of these don't make sense.
