∙ 10y agoThe word "slow" is an adjective because it describes a noun (person, place, or thing). Ex: The dog had gotten old, and all of its movements were slow. Slow describes the movements of the dog in this case, not the dog itself. If you want to describe the dog, you would say something along the lines of "The dog was slow." Or "The slow dog came in for dinner."
Slow is also a verb. "Please slow down."
