LESSON 5: ADJECTIVE


An adjective is a describing word.


There is a part of speech which identifies, quantifies or describes a pronoun or a noun, namely adjective. Generally, one of the essential features of an adjective is the ability to modify a pronoun or a noun which will enhance it in a more specific and captivating way. In other words, adjectives provide us with more information concerning animals, things or people which are represented by pronouns or nouns.

For example,

   
                                       




                                           
                                            A beautiful lady







                                                             




      
       A fierce lion











        

      A rainy day                                                     






In order to express clearly, adjectives are undoubtedly important. Without it, people might only know the clock tower in London as Ben.







                           (With adjective)
                         Big Ben

                         










                                  
                                             (Without adjective)
                                               Ben









Also, pizza would probably left with only one size option.


                                           Small? Medium? Large?




As a matter of fact, there are various types of adjectives which help us to communicate clearly. Personality adjectives appeared to be the adjectives which are most frequently used in our daily life. To be specific, personality is the most important element of human beings; people often use adjectives to describe individuals more than the description of anything else, without realizing it. Human beings are unique, and therefore, each of us has different personalities. To describe the personality or character of an individual,  personality adjectives are essential.
