ADJECTIVES

 

An adjective describes how something 'is'. Below are two circles. The circle on the right is white.

 

The circle on the left is white. It is a white circle. The circle on the right is red. It is a red circle.

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

Be careful!

• Don't place an adjective after the noun

NOT!!: an circle red
