What is an adjective ?
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun’s characteristics, such as size, shape, colour, or quality.
For example, in the sentence “La voiture rouge est rapide – The red car is fast,” the word “rouge” is an adjective that describes the noun “voiture.” Adjectives can be used to give more detail and help create a picture in the reader’s mind.
