What is the function of an adjective?

Answer 1

an adjective is something that describes a noun (a person or object)

For example.

The Majestic horse

The majestic is the adjective as it describes the actual item

Answer 2

An adjective is a word used to describe a noun or pronoun to make it more interesting or to clarify which noun is meant.

For example: The dog ran to his owner.

In this case "dog" is the noun so to make it more descriptive we could say:

The cute, fluffy white dog ran to its owner.

The adjectives in that sentence are cute, fluffy and white.

Comparative adjectives distinguish between nouns or their characteristics: the older boy was the more mischievous of the two; Bob is taller than Bill; it is the tallestmountain of the group.

Answer 3

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.
