Adjectives

We can use adjectives to describe people, places and things.

We've got a small car.
I saw a white bird.
This book isn't very old.

How to use them

We don't add s to the adjective when it's plural.

My brothers are short.
We've got three black cats.
She watched some old films.

How are adjectives used in sentences?

Adjectives modify or describe nouns and pronouns. They can be attributive (occurring before the noun) or predicative (occurring after the noun). Predicative adjectives typically follow a linking verb (such as forms of the verb “to be”) that connects the subject of the sentence to the adjective.

Examples: Attributive and predicative adjectives

The proud soldier is home.

The soldier is proud.

The dedicated employee starts early.

The employee is dedicated.

Put size adjectives before colour adjectives.

I've got a big, blue ball.
That building is tall and grey.
