An adjective describes how something 'is'. For this reason, we usually use the verb 'to be' when using adjectives. Adjectives are used to describe nouns.
Example: He is a good doctor. Rule: Adjectives describe nouns. The adjective is always invariable.
Example: beautiful trees, they are happy
Be careful!
· Adjectives don't have a singular and plural form OR a masculine, femine and neuter form.
· Adjectives are always the same! Never add a final -s to an adjective.
· Adjectives can also be placed at the end of a sentence if they describe the subject of a sentence. Example: My doctor is excellent.
NOT!!: difficults books
Rule: Adjectives are placed before the noun.
Example: a wonderful book very interesting people
· Don't place an adjective after the noun
NOT!!: an apple red
