The semantics defination of an adjective is that it describe or denotes the qualities of something. Adjective commonly occur be a determiner and a noun, or after be or other linking verbs, although they can also follow a noun.
Many adjectives have no typical form, but certain derivational morphemes are associated with adjectives, such as –able (likeable), -ish (childish), -ful (thoughtful) and –y (lazy).
English adjectives do not agree in number or gender with nouns as they do in some other languages; however, certain of them have inflectional morphemes for comparative and superlative forms such as happy, happier, happiest.
The function of adjective is to modify or coplement nouns. There are two adjective types : attributive, which precede nouns, and predicative, which follow linking verbs.
Attributive : The old bucket sprang a leak.
Predicative : He became angry at the very thought.
