Using Adjectives
An adjective is a word that describes nouns or pronouns. adjectives usually come before the noun. Adjectives tell about the qualities and features of people, things, or concepts and can be viewed as an added intensifier or “decoration" to the basic sentence elements, adding variety and descriptive value. Adjectives can also be expanded into adjective clauses. A clause is a group of related words with a subject and verb. An adjective clause performs the same function in sentences that adjective does: is a dependent clause that modifies a noun.
Compound adjectives are composed of two or more words that act as adjectives. There are a few rules that determine whether they should be used with a hyphen or not.
An adjective, expressed in comparative degree, is meaningless if it is not compared to something. Some verbs and nouns may function as adjectives.
English adjectives neither indicate number nor gender, having one invariable form that does not add "s" for plurals as with nouns.
