Nouns are a person, place or thing like:

Nouns can be Proper or Common like:
 
Common                          Proper

Adjectives describe a noun like:

They describe what a noun looks like, feels like, tastes like, sounds like or smells like.  SCIENCE CONNECTION!!  Adjectives are used to describe the properties of matter!!
