An adjective describes how something
'is'. For this reason, we usually use the verb
'to be' when using adjectives. Adjectives are
used to describe nouns.

• Adjectives don't have a singular and plural
form OR a masculine, famine and neuter form.
•Adjectives are always the same! Never add a
final -s to an adjective.

sentence if they describe the subject of a

nouns. The adjective is
