Adjectives
Adjectives are words that give more information about a noun or pronoun. They are often known as describing words. Adjectives are often related to Nouns or Verbs i.e. they have a Noun or a Verb as their root. Many of these are followed by “suffixes” (word endings): -able -al -ate -an -ant -ent -ful -ist -ive -ory -ous -some -wise -y Sometimes the adjective has long out lived the usage of it’s verb or noun root, as in the case of impeccable that originate from the Latin “impeccabilis” meaning not liable to sin.
Suffixes are not always used when a Noun acts as an Adjective e.g.
The cat The black cat
What makes a word an adjective is the way it is used i.e. the “job” it is doing. Adjectives give more information about a noun and tell us what kind of a thing it is, that is they describe it.
Look at the sentence part The cat
Adding Adjectives tells us more about the particular cat we are talking about.
