What Is an adjective

An adjective is a part of speech that modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjectives often describe what kind, how many, or which of a noun or pronoun. For example, in the sentence "The diligent student completed her assignment early," the word "diligent" is an adjective that describes the student.
Here are some other things to know about adjectives:
Placement
Adjectives usually appear before a noun, or after a stative verb like "to be".
Types
There are several types of adjectives, including attributive, predicative, comparative, superlative, coordinate, participial, and denominal.
Nouns
When an adjective is preceded by the article "the", it often refers to a category of people and functions as a noun. For example, in the sentence "The French are known for valuing their leisure time", the adjective "French" functions as a noun.
