8. The Adjective
An adjective is a word that qualifies or describes a noun. It tells us how much,
how many or what kind of a person, place or thing is.
Examples : Rohan is a good boy.
Tanya is a brave girl.
In the above sentences, the words good and brave describe the boy and the
girl respectively and hence are called adjectives. Adjectives are usually placed
before or after a noun.
Words that describe people, animals, things and places are called adjectives . All
describing words are adjectives and they describe nouns.
