adjective
含义: A word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun, giving more information about its qualities, quantity, or identity.
Adjectives are one of the core parts of speech in English and are essential for adding detail and nuance to communication. They can appear before a noun (attributive position) or after a linking verb such as 'be' or 'seem' (predicative position). Understanding the difference between adjective types — comparative, superlative, demonstrative, possessive — is fundamental to advanced grammar study.
