Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They tell the size, color, or quality of something: a big room, the red car, four interesting books. Here are some commonly used adjectives:
| beautiful | fast | loud | tall |
| big | funny | old | terrible |
| black | handsome | quiet | thirsty |
| boring | interesting | right | ugly |
| careful | late | sad | young |
| careless | little | short | white |
| early | long | slow | wrong |
Just like nouns, adjectives can follow the predicate. They most often come after forms of the verbs to be and to become:
- My sister was very sad.
- The horse suddenly became thirsty.
- My grandfather is old.
