Adjectives

What are adjectives? Adjectives are words used to modify a noun or a pronoun. More poetically they are "decorations for the language". If the adjetives did not exist, the language will be bored and without sense.

Example: Panama has beautiful green mountains with cristalline rivers and tall green trees.

If we quit the adjectives from this sentence it will sound different:

               Panama has mountains with rivers and trees.

Without adjectives, this sentence sounds bored and without life.

Remember that the adjectives qualifies the nouns and the pronouns and they can come before or after them. In this sentence, these are the words being modified:

               adjectives                        nouns
              beautiful green -------> mountains
              cristalline ------------> rivers
              tall grenn ------------> trees

Also the adjectives answers the questions: What kind? How many? How much? Which one(s)? The tall one, three of them, the pretty one, the old one, the green one, etc.

Order of adjectives

In a sentence, it is appropiate and advisable that the adjectives go in this order:

Determiners, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose... Noun
Example: The elegant big round table
               A white Chinese tiger
               The small young Panamanian kid

It is important to know that adjectives are an open class of words, so that means that every time someone is inventing a new adjetive, maybe from new technology words or new types of materials.

Try different types of adjectives in every sentence that you write or say and you will see the difference.
