Think of them like descriptive labels! For example, if you see a dog, you can say <span data-no-translation>The dog is big.<\/span> Here, <span data-no-translation>big<\/span> is an adjective. It tells us about the dog&#8217;s size. Adjectives help us make our sentences more interesting and clear. They answer questions like &#8220;What kind?&#8221; or &#8220;How many?&#8221; or &#8220;Which one?&#8221;. For instance, <span data-no-translation>a beautiful flower<\/span> uses <span data-no-translation>beautiful<\/span> to describe the flower. Or, <span data-no-translation>a slow snail<\/span> uses <span data-no-translation>slow<\/span> to describe the snail. In English, adjectives usually come before the noun they describe, like <span data-no-translation>a fast car<\/span>, or after a verb like <span data-no-translation>is<\/span>, as in <span data-no-translation>The car is fast.<\/span> Learning adjectives helps you talk about the world around you and describe things you see and feel every day.<\/div>\n<h2>Cosa sono gli aggettivi?<\/h2>\n<p>Adjectives are words that describe nouns.<\/p>\n<p>Nouns are words for people, places, animals, or things.
