Adjectives are words that are used to help describe or give description to people, places, and things. These descriptive words can help give information about size, shape, age, color, origin, material, purpose, feelings, condition, and personality, or texture. Think about how you would describe your mother, teacher, best friend, cat, dog, bedroom, or favorite piece of clothing.
Adjectives can also describe how much or how many by using numbers with people, places, or things. There can be five dogs at the park or several people on the playground. You check out fifteen books at the library, or there may be only a few people in your class.
