Adjectives
20 Adjectives and adverbs

Adjectives describe or modify a noun or pronoun. They provide more information about a noun or pronoun, and they can provide additional meaning for a noun phrase.

Joseph is a famous guitar player.

The elderly couple slept at last.

The list of English adjectives is, of course, quite long. Here are some frequently used examples.

An English adjective has only one form, whether the noun or pronoun it modifies is masculine, feminine, or neuter, or singular or plural. This is true for predicate adjectives, as well as for adjectives that stand before a noun.

The new professor is quite intelligent.

Intelligent people don’t brag about their talents.

His youngest son is terribly lazy.

A lazy person probably won’t go far in life.

Even the baby giraffe is tall.

That tall girl is the star of her basketball team.
