4. Correct Usage of Adjectives

Adjectives are words which tell us something about nouns, that is about a person, an animal, a thing or a place. They usually come before the nouns they describe. But sometimes they come after the nouns.

His hands and legs are thin.

Everyone knows a giraffe has a long neck.

None of my tables is round.

My old car didn't have air conditioning. 

The words 'thin', 'long', 'round' and 'old' tell us something about the nouns: hands and legs, giraffe, table and car. These words called adjectives tell us about their size, shape and condition. An adjective is therefore a word added to a noun to describe it so that we know more about the noun.

Some words can be both adjectives and adverbs as follow: early, fast, and late. It is important to distinguish how they are used.

We arrived a little early for lunch. (Adjective)

We arrived early so we still had time before lunch. (Adverb)

You are a fast driver these days. (Adjective)

You drive fast these days. (Adverb)

I overslept and so I was late. (Adjective)

I overslept and so I got up late. (Adverb)
