Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns, providing more information about them. They can indicate qualities, quantities, colors, sizes, and more, helping to create a clearer picture in the reader's or listener's mind. For example, in the phrase "a tall building," "tall" is the adjective that describes the noun "building." Adjectives can enhance sentences by adding detail and specificity.
Adjectives can be categorized into several types, including descriptive adjectives, which describe qualities (e.g., "happy," "blue"), quantitative adjectives that indicate quantity (e.g., "some," "five"), demonstrative adjectives that point out specific items (e.g., "this," "those"), and possessive adjectives that show ownership (e.g., "my," "her"). Additionally, there are interrogative adjectives used in questions (e.g., "which," "what") and indefinite adjectives that refer to non-specific items (e.g., "any," "several"). Each type serves a distinct purpose in modifying nouns and providing more information.
