What is an adjective ?
Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking much
more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Words like small, blue, and sharp are descriptive.
Because adjectives are used to identify or quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually
positioned before the noun or pronoun that they modify.
Examples :
1). Gita gave me a cute pen
2).This Classroom is great, but it was hot and crowded!
3).Anggi has excellent managerial skills and is a superb listener.
