In the English language, there are eight parts of speech:
- Noun
- Pronoun
- Adjective
- Verb
- Adverb
- Preposition
- Conjunction
- Interjection
Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. The purpose of an adjective is to answer questions about the noun.
- What kind of noun is it?
- Which noun is it?
- How many are there?
Adjectives may include
words such as pretty, short, thin, quirky, zany, happy, intelligent, round, red, and shiny.
Keep & Share has a number of printable adjective lists, including lists of adjectives to describe personality traits and examples of predicate adjectives.
It is common for adjectives to be confused with adverbs by people who are unfamiliar with English grammar. However, this error can be avoided if you remember that many adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective. For example, sad and happy are adjectives, but sadly and happily are adverbs.
