The adjetives

Adjectives


An adjective describes or limits a noun or pronoun. A word, phrase, or even a clause can serve as an adjective.

The boy wore a striped cap to the circus.
The boy wearing the cap went to the circus.
The boy who wore the cap went to the circus.


Most adjectives are always singular in form.

Incorrect: browns shoes; cheerfuls women
Correct: brown shoes; cheerful women


Exceptions are the demonstrative adjectives that and this , which have the plural forms those and these. These adjectives and the nouns they modify should agree in number.

Incorrect: that cars; these boy
Correct: those cars; this boy


Adjectives should be placed as close as possible to the words they modify. However, to avoid an awkward phrase, you may insert words between an adjective and its noun as long their relationship to one another is still clear.

Awkward: Swimming was fun in the pool.
Better: Swimming in the pool was fun.


Several adjectives can be used to modify the same word, but avoid listing more than three adjectives in a row.

Awkward: a big round red wooden sign
Better: a big, round sign that was painted red and made of wood
