What is an Adjective?
-
An adjective is one of the most common word types and integral parts of the English language. This part of speech is used to modify, describe, or quantify a noun or a pronoun. By using adjectives you will be able to paint a clearer picture and provide a more comprehensible message to the audience.
-
Adjectives serve a number of purposes in written and spoken language. Like many other words in English, the purpose of an adjective relies heavily on the way it is used by speakers and writers.
-
Adjectives, when used appropriately, help to make descriptions more vivid. They help the writer to create clear ideas of what the noun or pronoun tastes, smells, feels, looks, and sounds like. They serve a similar purpose in both explanatory and creative writing.
-
Look at the difference between a sentence that has limited use of adjectives and one in which the writer engages the readers’ senses with carefully selected adjectives.
-
E.g= The lake is vast and it is crystal clear with small pebbles scattered around it.
