So how you do recognise an adjective?

Identifying an adjective

1. Look for a word before a noun that describes the noun. This is the most typical way to use an adjective. 

When reading a sentence, find the noun first. A noun is a person, place or thing that is the subject of the sentence. 

Then, check to see if there is a descriptive word right before the noun. If there is, then it may be an adjective.

Example: The short man walked away.

Identifying an adjective

2. Check for adjectives that come after verbs.

Another common way of placing an adjective in a sentence is after a “verb of being” or “linking verb.” 

Linking verbs connect a noun to a descriptive adjective, such as “tastes” “feels,” “smells,” and “looks.”.

Example: The ball is red.

The food smells delicious.
