Adjectives describe or give information about nouns
The good news is that the form of adjectives does not change, it does not matter if the noun being modified is male or female, singular or plural, subject or object
Some adjectives give us factual information about the noun - age, size colour etc (fact adjectives - can't be argued with). A
Some adjectives show what somebody thinks about something or somebody - nice, horrid, beautiful etc (opinion adjectives - not everyone may agree ) l
Opinion
Adjectives can be used to give your opinion about something
good, pretty, right, wrong, funny, light, happy, sad, full, soft, hard etc
For example
He was a silly boy
Size
Adjectives can be used to describe size
big, small, little, long, tall, short, same as, etc
For example
"The big man." or "The big woman"
Age
Adjectives can be used to describe age
For example
"He was an old man" or "She was an old woman"
Shape
Adjectives can be used to describe shape
round, circular, triangular, rectangular, square, oval, etc
For example
"It was a square box" or "They were square boxes"
Colour
Adjectives can be used to describe colour
blue, red, green, brown, yellow, black, white, etc.
Adjectives can be used to describe time
.late, early, bed, nap, dinner, lunch, day, morning, night, etc
For example
"She had an early start"
Purpose
(Adjectives can be used to describe purpose. (These adjectives often end with -ing
For example
"She gave them a sleeping bag." or "She gave them sleeping bags"
Note
In each case the adjective stays the same, whether it is describing a maculine, feminine, singular or plural noun
When using more than one adjective to modify a noun, the adjectives may be separated by a conjunction (and) or by commas (,)
For example
"Her hair was long and blonde." or "She had long, blonde hair"
Adjectives can be used after some verbs
They do not describe the verb, adverbs do that. Adjectives after a verb describe the subject of the verb
(usually a noun or pronoun)
For example
"David looks tired". The subject (in this case David) is being described as tired not the verb to look
Used to something
Used to can be used as an adjective and we use it to talk about things that have become familiar, and are no longer strange or new
Used to usually comes after verbs such as be, get or become
For example
After a while you get used to the noise
She will become used to the smell
I was used to the web site
You can also say that someone is used to doing something
I'll never get used to getting up at six o'clock in the morning
It took me a while until I was used to driving on the right-hand side of the road
