Adjectives are used to describe nouns and add more detail and meaning. Some common ways adjectives are used include in phrases with "be" verbs like "is/are" to describe qualities and with verbs like "look", "feel", "smell", "taste", and "sound" to describe how something seems through the senses. Adjectives should agree with the noun they describe in terms of number, and a list of common adjectives with examples of their use are provided.
