Adjectives, anyone?



If you ever paid attention to yourself while speaking, you would realize that many words make up your sentence; nouns, articles, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs etc. We will take a look at each of them in due time. 
But today let’s take a look at adjectives!

Adjectives can simply be defined as words used to describe objects, places and people. Let’s take a look at 
a sentence to help you understand adjectives better.

“A beautiful garden of roses.”

Can you point out the adjective in this sentence? If you guessed ‘beautiful’, your guess was right!

Now let us ask you: How were you able to identify the adjective in the sentence above? It’s simple! You looked out for the word that described the garden of roses- beautiful.

Now that wasn’t so difficult, was it? A quick tip: While reading, always try to identify the adjective in the sentence and make a note of it. You should then try to use it in a sentence later yourself! Not only will this help you understand the English Language better, but it will also improve your vocabulary!

Who wouldn’t want that?

Here are a few sentences to help you understand adjectives better. Why don’t you try and identify the adjectives in the following sentences?

·         Rohan’s mother is a wise woman.
·         Children are innocent.
·         She has long, brown hair.
·         Sleeping early makes you feel fresh and alert in the morning.
·         The red apple is juicy and very tasty!
