Adjectives (The Butter)

Adjectives are simply words used to describe

or modify nouns (people, places, things) and

pronouns (e.g., I, she, he, it, they, etc.) by

depicting, quantifying, or identifying them.

When a series of adjectives is used to describe

one noun, the adjectives must follow a

particular order (like in the case of ten lovable,

small, young, pudgy, beige, fuzzy, French pet

puppies

I know).

Just as butter is closely related to bread,

adjectives are closely related to nouns. And just

as butter gives flavor to the bread, adjectives

give flavor to nouns. (I was going to try to come

up with a clever butter pun, but the margarine

for error was too high. Ba dum tss!)
