    Adjectives are used to describe nouns and provide more details about them. Adjectives typically come before the nouns they modify and can be used to answer questions like "what kind" or "which one". They do not change form for plural nouns. Adjectives can also be used after linking verbs like "seem", "become", and verbs of perception to describe the subject of the sentence.
