ADJECTIVES

Adjectives tell us more about nouns.  Sometimes they are placed before the noun:
a blue ball  
an old woman    
two tiny shells  
three blind mice       
the natural world


Sometimes, they are placed after the verb:
The ball is blue.       
The woman was old.      
The shells were tiny.      
The mice were blind.

Many short adjectives have comparative and superlative forms:
big  bigger  biggest                   
short  shorter  shortest               
black  blacker  blackest
