How do you use an adjective in a sentence?

Here's how to use adjectives in sentences:

What is an adjective?

An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It tells us more about the noun's qualities, characteristics, or state.

How to use them:

1. Place the adjective before the noun:

* Example: The beautiful flower bloomed in the garden.

* Example: We ate a delicious meal.

2. Use them after linking verbs (be, seem, feel, etc.):

* Example: The movie was boring.

* Example: The cat seems sleepy.

3. Use them in a compound adjective:

* Example: He wore a bright red shirt.

* Example: The car was brand new.

Examples of sentences using adjectives:

* The old, dusty book held many secrets. (Two adjectives before the noun)

* The sky is clear and blue. (Two adjectives after the linking verb "is")

* She has a stunningly beautiful voice. (Adjective after a noun)

* The weather is incredibly hot today. (Adjective after an adverb)

Remember: Adjectives add detail and color to your writing, making it more interesting and engaging!
