An adjective is one of the nine parts of speech.

An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun. It "describes" or

"modifies" a noun (The big dog was hungry). In these examples, the
adjective is in bold and the noun that it modifies is in italics.

An adjective often comes BEFORE a noun:

• a green car
• a dark sky
• an interesting story

And sometimes an adjective comes AFTER a verb:

• My car is green.
• The sky became dark.
• His story seemed interesting.

But adjectives can also modify pronouns (She is beautiful). Look at these
examples:

• They were empty.

• I thought it seemed strange.
• Those are not expensive.

Note that we can often use two or more adjectives together

(a beautiful young French lady / it is black and white).
