๐Ÿ“š Quick Study Guide

    ๐Ÿ” Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, providing description or details. ๐Ÿ“ They typically answer questions like: What kind? How many? Which one? ๐Ÿงฎ Adjective order generally follows this pattern: Quantity, Value/Opinion, Size, Physical Quality, Shape, Age, Color, Origin, Material, Type, Purpose. ๐Ÿ’ก Articles (a, an, the) are also considered adjectives. โœ๏ธ Proper adjectives are formed from proper nouns and are always capitalized (e.g., French cuisine). โš ๏ธ Be careful not to confuse adjectives with adverbs, which modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
