Adjectives

An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun.

For instance, you could say:

A cat walked past my window.

or you could make it more descriptive by adding adjectives:

A large orange striped cat walked past my window.(1)

Adjectives answer the questions which one, what kind, and how much/many.

Which one: That car has been in a crash.
What kind: We have black squirrels in our neighborhood.
How much: I ate too much sugar for breakfast.
How many: I saw five swans in our pond.

(1) Note: The 'A' in both the cat sentences is also an adjective referred to as an article.
