Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They give more information about what the noun is like. There are many types of adjectives to describe a subject's:
| Example | |
| quality | comfortable, good, ugly |
| size | large, tiny, small |
| age | old, new, young |
| shape | round, square, triangular |
| colour | brown, turquoise, pink |
| origin | American, Asian, local |
| material | paper, plastic, metal |
| purpose | cooking, fashionable, extra |
Most of the time, we put adjectives between an article and a noun, or just before the noun if there is no article.
These are interesting shoes.
Those are some dangerous plants!
That's a unique and red table.
We don't usually use more than two or three adjectives in one sentence.
If we use more than one adjective, we can separate them using 'and'. If there are more than two, we use a comma (,) after the first, and 'and' before the last adjective.
| One adjective | It was a clean beach. |
| Two adjectives | It was a clean and beautiful beach. |
| More than two adjectives | It was a clean, beautiful, and secluded beach. |
