What this grammar point covers
Adjectives are words that describe or give more information about nouns (people, places, things, or animals) in English.
When to use it
Use adjectives in English to describe the color, size, shape, feeling, or other qualities of a noun.
Key forms
- Adjective + noun: a big house
- Be + adjective: The house is big.
Examples
It is a small dog.
The weather is cold.
He is a happy boy.
Tips
- In English, adjectives usually come before the noun: a blue book.
- Do not add 's' to adjectives for plural nouns: big houses (not bigs houses).
- Some adjectives do not change for gender or number.
Exceptions and edge cases
- Some adjectives come after the verb 'be': The sky is blue.
- A few adjectives can come after certain verbs (look, feel, seem): She feels tired.
