what is an adjative?

An adjective describes a noun or pronoun. It answers which, what kind of or how many.

Examples of ADJECTIVES:

That was a GOOD dinner.
Our dinner was very GOOD.
We have THREE children.
THAT house is ours.

An adjective is a type of word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It tells us about qualities or characteristics of the noun it is describing. Adjectives can express color, size, shape, opinion, origin, and many other attributes.

To identify an adjective, you can follow these steps:

1. Look for words that directly describe a noun or pronoun. For example, in the sentence "The yellow sun is shining," the word "yellow" describes the noun "sun."
2. Check if the word answers questions like "What kind?" "Which one?" "How many?" or "How much?" For instance, in the sentence "She has three adorable puppies," the word "adorable" answers the question "What kind of puppies?"
3. Determine if the word can be compared using comparative or superlative forms. For example, "big," "bigger," and "biggest" are comparative forms of the adjective "big."

Remember, not all words that can describe or modify nouns are adjectives. Some words, like adverbs, can modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Only words specifically used to describe or modify nouns are considered adjectives.
