Here's a breakdown:
* What it does: Adjectives describe or modify nouns and pronouns.
* How it works: Adjectives answer questions like "what kind?", "which one?", "how many?", or "how much?".
* Examples:
* "The red car": "red" describes the car's color.
* "Three happy children": "happy" describes the children's mood, and "three" tells us how many children there are.
* "A beautiful sunset": "beautiful" describes the quality of the sunset.
Types of Adjectives:
* Descriptive Adjectives: Describe a noun's qualities (e.g., big, small, happy, sad).
* Quantitative Adjectives: Indicate quantity (e.g., one, two, many, few).
* Demonstrative Adjectives: Point out specific nouns (e.g., this, that, these, those).
* Possessive Adjectives: Show ownership (e.g., my, your, his, her, its).
Remember: Adjectives are essential for adding detail and clarity to our writing and speech. They help us paint vivid pictures with words and make our language more expressive.
