    Adjectives
    Adjectives are one of the eight parts of speech that express an attribute of a place, thing
    or a person. In simpler words, adjectives describe, qualify or modify nouns. Adjectives
    precede the noun in a sentence. There can also be more than two adjectives qualifying
    a noun. The list of adjectives in English are categorized into two types; limiting
    adjectives and descriptive adjectives.

    Limiting Adjectives
    Limiting adjectives are used to specify only certain or specific nouns. They are limited to
    the noun that they describe and hence, are known as limiting adjectives. The types of
    limiting adjectives are possessive adjectives, demonstrative adjectives, numerical
    adjectives, interrogative adjectives, and proper adjectives.
    eg- His book (possessive adjective)
    Shakespearean drama (proper adjective)

    Descriptive Adjectives
    Descriptive adjectives is the largest group among the types of adjectives. Descriptive
    adjectives describe the noun in detail by assigning an attribute of that noun. The list of
    descriptive adjectives is considered nearly unending as there are adjectives describing
    nearly every noun. Descriptive adjectives are primarily differentiated into simple
    adjectives and compound adjectives.
    (1) Simple Adjectives
    Simple adjectives are single words that are commonly used to describe a noun.
    eg- good, happy, bad, thin, etc

    (2) Compound Adjectives


    Two or more adjectives, used consecutively, that describe the same noun, are known
    as compound adjectives. They are hyphenated to avoid confusion between the two
    adjectives. The most common compound adjectives are the ones when adjectives
    precede nouns like 'blue-sky' or when adjectives are preceded by verbs as in 'feel-
    good'. When two or more colors are used as adjectives, there is always a hyphen
    between them.
    eg- middle-aged, short-sighted, bluish-green

    If there is no hyphen between two adjectives, there can be an ambiguity in the meaning
    of the sentence. The following example will be beneficial to illustrate this.
    eg- A man-eating tiger.
    As the adjectives are hyphenated, it is clear that they describe the noun, 'tiger'. Now,
    consider the following example,
    eg- A man eating tiger.
    Here, there is no hyphen between the two words, neither are they considered
    adjectives. The sentence clearly means that a man is eating a tiger.

    The following is the list of descriptive adjectives that are categorized according to ones
    that describe qualities, personality traits, colors, sizes, shapes, sounds and feelings.
