Examples:

a) The car is red.
b) The car is big.
c) The car is dirty.


An adjective gives information about a noun. In the examples the adjectives tells us about the quality, the appearance or the speakers ideas about the subject nouns.

Note that the subject in example a,b,c and d are the same, but the adjectives are different. Therefore, each adjective modifies the noun in a different way as: size, color, appearance and opinion.

Examples:
f) I am old.
g) He is tired.
h) She is friendly.

Adjectives can also modify pronouns as in examples f, g, and h.
Examples:

i) They are happy
j) Mike and John are short.
k) Lemons are sour.
Adjectives can give information about more than one noun, but adjectives do not have plural ending as –s
