Adjectives

These are words used to describe nouns and pronouns. They can come before or after the noun they talk about and they give more information about people, animals and things. Adjectives give information about how something or someone looks, feels, tastes or sounds.

They also tell us things like how big, how many, what kind, and which.

Example:

The dark, pretty girl dived into the swimming pool.

In the sentence above, the words "dark" and "pretty" give us information about what the girl looks like.

There are many different types of adjectives. For now, we will look at adjectives of size and colour and demonstrative adjectives.
