๐จ Describing Things: Common Adjectives
Learn how to use common adjectives to describe people and things. Discover the correct place to put them in a sentence.
What is an Adjective?
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. A noun is a person, place, or thing. Adjectives give us more information. For example, they tell us about size, color, or how something feels. Words like big, red, and happy are all adjectives.
Where Do Adjectives Go?
In English, adjectives usually go before the noun. You say the color or size first, and then the thing. For example, we say 'a big dog', not 'a dog big'. This is a very important rule to remember when you speak English.
Adjectives with 'To Be'
You can also put adjectives after the verb 'to be' (am, is, are). When you do this, the adjective describes the subject at the start of the sentence. This is great for talking about how things look, feel, or are right now.
