This document defines and provides examples of different types of adjectives: 1) It defines adjectives as words that modify or describe nouns and provides common examples like "tall", "old", and "red". 2) It distinguishes predicate adjectives, which follow linking verbs, from attributive adjectives, which precede the nouns they modify. 3) It notes that prepositional phrases can function as adjectives by answering questions about a noun, like "what kind" or "how many".

work together to modify the noun or pronoun.
