      Adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun.  They usually come before a noun, and on rare occasions, come after one.

        Examples of what has been explained to you by Chiangmai:


        Tall, handsome man  (tall and handsome are adjectives describing the noun "man")


        Exceptionally frosty morning (exceptionally is an adjective describing the adjective frosty!)

          Flowers galore: flowers is a noun, and galore (means a lot of) is an adjective that comes after a noun.
