๐ Topic Summary
Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Nouns are people, places, things, or ideas. Adjectives give us more information about the noun, like its color, size, shape, or feeling. For example, instead of saying 'a cat,' you could say 'a fluffy cat' or 'a playful cat.' 'Fluffy' and 'playful' are adjectives!
Using adjectives correctly makes your sentences more descriptive and engaging. Remember, adjectives usually come before the noun they describe, but they can also come after a linking verb like 'is' or 'are.' For instance, 'The sky is blue.' Here, 'blue' is an adjective describing the noun 'sky'.
