    Definition of adjectives
    The adjectives are words that name or indicate qualities, traits and properties of
    the names or nouns they accompany.
    Uses of adjectives
    The adjectives are used to identify or quantify individual people and unique thing.
    Words like small, blue and sharp are descriptive and they are all examples of
    adjectives.
    Characteristics of adjectives
    The main characteristics of adjectives are the following:
    - The adjective has an inflection, in other words, it has morphemes that can
    be combined with the lexeme to provide gender either masculine or
    feminine.
    - The adjective can provide a number to the noun so that it can be plural or
    singular.
    - Those that end with an unstressed vowel or in an “e” have an s added.
    - Some may not vary in the plural.
    - It has a degree, which expresses the intensity with which the adjective can
    characterize the noun.
    Types of adjectives
    - Descriptive Adjectives (fat, nice, hot, young, long, early, etc.)
    - Demonstrative Adjectives (this, that, these, those)
    - Quantitative Adjectives (some, any, many, much, etc.)
    - Interrogative Adjectives (which?, what?, where?, how?, etc.)
    - Possessive Adjectives (my, your, his, our, etc.)
    - Numeric Adjectives (one, four, first, third, etc.)
    Function of Adjectives
    The Adjectives describe different aspects of nouns. When an adjective describes a
    noun, we say that it "modifies" it. Adjectives can: describe feelings or qualities,
    indicate nationality or origin, describe the characteristics of a thing, inform about
    age, inform about size or measurement, inform about color, inform about material,
    inform about shape or express a value or a judgment
