Learn English Grammar: Lesson 5 – Adjectives
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives: good, delicious, happy, interesting, important, serious, green, cold, many, Mexican, French, English, Chinese, difficult, clean, six
Adjectives answer the questions “Which?” “How many?” “What kind?” For example, this sentence has three adjectives:
Ex: My white cat sometimes eats two pieces of fried chicken.
Which cat? How many pieces? What kind of chicken?
In English, adjectives can come after be or before nouns.
- after be: Ex: Canada is big.
- before noun: Ex: Canada is a big country.
- after be: Ex: Elvis Presley was very popular.
- before noun: Elvis Presley was a very popular singer.
