3.1 Descriptive adjectives

What is a descriptive adjective?

A descriptive adjective is a word that modifies the noun. It has to agree in gender (feminine or masculine) and in number (singular and plural) with the noun that is modifying.

Adjectives follow the nouns that they follow, instead of being in front of the noun in English.
