Using adjectives for more descriptive writing

Adjectives

An adjective is a word that describes a noun (the name of a thing or a place).

For example, 'It was a terrible book.'

The word 'terrible' is an adjective. It tells us what the book (the noun) was like.

'The book she read on holiday was terrible' or 'She read a terrible book on holiday'.

Adjectives can come before or after a noun.
