Questions people ask
What is an adjective?
An adjective describes a noun. In the sentence a fuzzy blanket, fuzzy is the adjective telling you about the blanket.
What order should adjectives go in?
English usually goes opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. That is why we say a lovely little old red barn, not a red old little lovely one.
What are comparative adjectives?
They compare two things, usually by adding -er or using more. Tall becomes taller, and careful becomes more careful.
Can an adjective come after the noun?
Yes, after verbs like is or seems. In the soup is hot, hot is still an adjective describing the soup. Linking verbs like looks, feels and tastes work the same way.
