Adjectives

Sometimes, I fave difficulty with adjectives. and the best explanation is :Adjectives, another part of speech, give us a great deal of terminology. I will share it with you, but all that is really important is that adjectives modify or affect the meaning of nouns and pronouns and tell us which, whose, what kind, and how many about the nouns or pronouns they modify. They generally come before the noun or pronoun they modify, but there are exceptions to that rule. How and why they are different will be explained in later lessons. They still tell us which, whose, what kind, and how many.
Examples: The neighbor girl likes chocolate ice cream. Mr. Johanson is tall, dark and handsome.

  1. I never thought of adjectives that way before. I mean I always knew what they were, but never thought of how important they are to our writing! Without them it leaves the reader in a slump and lost. They cannot picture or get a visual without a description, leaving a writing dull and boring. THANKS!
