Simply put, an adjective is a word you use to describe a person, place, or thing. An adjective modifies nouns or pronouns. Without adjectives, we wouldn’t know if you had a serene vacation or a disastrous vacation.

Adjectives are usually placed before the nouns they modify, but when used with linking verbs, such as forms of to be or “sense” verbs, they are placed after the verb. The latter type of adjective is called a predicative adjective.

In English, many adjectives, including past participles, can come before or after nouns. But in many cases I don’t know what the difference is between an adjective placed before the noun and after the noun. Adjectives are normally placed before nouns and this is known as the modifier or attributive position.

An adjective can act as a noun depending on its usage, and as such it can be a subject, object or complement in a sentence. Adjectives preceded by the article “the” function as nouns that are plural in sense.

Adjectives are always the same! Never add a final –s to an adjective. Adjectives can also be placed at the end of a sentence if they describe the subject of a sentence.

verb (used with object), tried, try·ing. to attempt to do or accomplish: Try it before you say it’s simple. to test the effect or result of (often followed by out): to try a new method; to try a recipe out.
