You must remember from our previous lesson that adjectives add a description to the sentence. An Adjective adds a description to the noun(Adjective means added to). An adjective can describe a person, animal, place, thing or tell the number or quantity of the noun.
An adjective can be a single word (like exciting, amusing) or a compound(hard-working, self-centered) that actually modifies the noun. The different kinds of adjectives define the noun, verb or sometimes even other adjectives.
But how are Adjectives formed? How does beauty(noun) convert to beautiful(adjective)? Is there a thumb rule to work this out without being an english grammar maestro? We are so excited to answer all these in a very refreshing logical way. Let’s get cracking!
