Is the word they an adjective?

No, "they" is not an adjective. It is a pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronouns stand in for nouns. They can be singular (he, she, it) or plural (they, them, we).

* Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns. They tell us more about the noun or pronoun.

Example:

* They are going to the park. ("They" is the pronoun, referring to a group of people).

* The blue car is fast. ("Blue" is the adjective, describing the car).
