Open any English dictionary and start with the section (T). All the listed words which have (adj.) next to it is an adjective.

an adjective moderfies a noun or pronoun.it also ask what kind which one

and how many. (ex)how many more,what kind of color, which one is pretty.

colores are adjectives and so are sizes, etc. adjectives are just words that describe nouns.

Adjectives can occur before nouns.

the old wall

"old" is an adjective.

Adjectives can be changed into comparative and superlative forms.

the older wall
the oldest wall

With adjectives of more than one syllable, "more" and "most" are used instead of the suffixes "er" and "est".

the more beautiful wall
the most beautiful wall

Adjectives can also be used after "be"

the wall is old
this wall is older than that one

Nouns can also occur in the same position as adjectives.

the stone wall

"stone" is a noun. We know it's a noun because we cannot add "er" like we can with adjectives:

*the stoner wall (wrong)

How about "a plastic bag"?

Is plastic an adj or a noun?

(Can we say it's a noun because we can't add "er" to form "a plasticer bag"???
