50 Examples of Descriptive Adjectives

Descriptive adjectives

The descriptive adjectives are the adjectives that indicate a quality or characteristic of the noun to which they refer, which can be very general or very specific. For example: Home red.

Descriptive adjectives provide additional information about the noun they accompany, and this information can cover questions well perceptible physical (such as size or color), or it can also delve into subjective issues, influenced by the value judgment of the speaker.

A very important characteristic of all adjectives (including descriptive ones) is that they always agree in gender and number with the noun they modify (although those that end in "e", which are many, will not show gender variation), this often helps to identify them quickly in the sentence.
