What does an adjective describe and tell?

An adjective describes a noun or pronoun, providing more information about its qualities, characteristics, or states.

Here's a breakdown:

* Noun: A word that names a person, place, thing, or idea (e.g., dog, house, happiness).

* Pronoun: A word that replaces a noun (e.g., he, she, it, they).

Adjectives tell us:

* What kind: *red* car, *delicious* food, *heavy* box

* How many: *five* books, *several* friends, *no* time

* Which one: *that* house, *this* book, *the* dog

* Whose: *her* car, *my* book, *the teacher's* desk

Essentially, adjectives help us paint a clearer picture of the noun or pronoun they modify by adding details and making our language more descriptive.
