This document provides instructions on how to identify adjectives in sentences. It explains that adjectives usually come before nouns and modify them. Some common adjectives can also come after nouns when used with words like "first" or "only". Adjectives can also follow linking verbs. The document lists intensifiers that can be used with adjectives to add emphasis. It also discusses the three degrees of comparison for adjectives: positive, comparative, and superlative. Examples of adjectives from passages are underlined and their other forms of comparison are provided.

“possible”, “suitable” can be used just before a

nouns only when the noun follows words such as
first, last, next, only and superlative adjectives.
