Importance of Adjectives

humans are animals slow compared to cheetah, rabbit or deer. Our strength is far less than that of elephants, rhinos, or hippos. Emotionally we can be overcome by the faithfulness and unconditional love of a dog. only in the language we are clearly superior.
The adjectives are words special, because thanks to them we can know what a person is like, if an object belongs to someone or not, if we are close to or far from something, if we are first, second or third. Simply put, there is an adjective for every situation.
noun allies
Everything that surrounds us has one dimension or another depending on the intervention of qualifying adjectives. things are pretty or ugly people pleasant or unpleasant, animals dangerous or harmless.
We cannot say anything about a thing, person or living being if we do not resort to a qualifying adjective. Some serve to describe in a positive and complimentary way and others for the opposite.
Mine, yours and his
The words we use to indicate possession are possessive adjectives. Thanks to them we know how to identify that this is mine, yours or theirs. They are placed before or after the noun (that is my dog or that book is mine).
Talking about distances between objects and people
Demonstrative adjectives are used to communicate how far we are from something or someone. If I say that this table is dirty, I am indicating that said object is a short distance away, while if I affirm that that neighbor is unfriendly I am saying that the person mentioned is very far from me position.
the indefinite
They provide imprecise information about the noun they accompany. If I say that any day I'm going to see you I'm not saying anything specific. If I comment that I have a lot or a little money I also do not provide precise information about my economy.
When I say that each person is different, I am not referring to anyone in particular. If I tell a friend that we will talk another day, there is no telling when that day will be. The lack of definition is the characteristic of these adjectives.
Putting some numerical order
Numeral adjectives give precise information about quantitative issues. We use them to count things or people. While the indefinite are imprecise, they say something precisely (one hundred soldiers, a friend or four children).
On the other hand, cardinal numeral adjectives allow us to order numerical situations (it's my twentieth birthday). Partitive numeral adjectives indicate which part of something we are talking about (a third of my wealth or half of my food).
