An adjective is a word we use to describe a noun.
It gives the reader extra information about the noun.


For example, If you write the noun dog you have given the reader basic information.

When you add adjectives, you give the reader details that they can use to create a picture of the dog in their mind.

Adjectives transform the commonly understood idea of a dog into the more specific idea of a fluffy, little poodle dog or a muddy old sheep dog.

In this manner, the girl is transformed into the delighted birthday girl.

The man is transformed into the exhausted elderly man.
The cake is transformed into the lilac wedding cake.
The light is transformed into the glowing star light.
The baby is transformed into the chubby giggling baby.
The sandwich is transformed into the moldy club sandwich.
