The Eight Parts of Speech: Adjectives

        Adjectives are words that modify nouns or pronouns. That's all. An easy way that helps me remember which words are adjectives (so when I know I'm using too many) is that adjectives “ad” to the “subject”. This also works for adverbs (words that “ad” to “verbs”, but we'll destroy that wall when we discuss that topic). Here are a few helpful pointers:

        1) The definite article The and the indefinite article A are both adjectives.

         2) Their, Its, and This are pronouns that can be used as adjectives

         3) They answer the questions:
                - Which one?
                - What kind?
                - How many?

         4) Words that end with the following suffixes are typically adjectives:
                -ful, -ous, -y, -ish, -able, -ial, -less, -isble, -ent, -ing, -ly, - -ar, -ive
