Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They describe or give information about things, ideas or people. 

For example:

  • The black dog is mine. (black describes the noun "dog")


English adjectives do not change: they are equal for a male or female, singular or plural.

For example:

  • The young girl is at first grade. (female-singular)
  • The young girls are at first grade. (female-plural)
  • The young boy is at first grade.  (male-singular)
  • The young boys are at first grade.  (male-plural)

  Pay Attention!

Adjectives usually go before the nouns.

E.g. She is a nice girl.
       He is an intelligent boy.
       It is a clever idea. 


In some cases the adjectives take a predicative position, especially when they are after the verbs BE, BECOME, GROW, LOOK and SEEM. 

E.g. The cat is black
       The sandwiches look very tasty.
       The train seems slow.
       Children grow fast.
