What do an adjective mean?

An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It provides more information about the noun or pronoun, telling us what kind, how many, or which one.

Here's a breakdown of what adjectives do:

* Describe qualities: They tell us about the characteristics of something. For example, "red car," "fluffy cat," "delicious cake."

* Quantify: They indicate how many or how much. For example, "three apples," "little water," "some information."

* Point out specific things: They identify a particular noun or pronoun. For example, "that book," "this house," "my friend."

Examples:

* The tall building (describes the height of the building)

* A beautiful sunset (describes the appearance of the sunset)

* Six apples (quantifies the number of apples)

* This chair (points out a specific chair)

Think of adjectives as words that add color, detail, and specificity to our language.
