📚 What Are Adjectives?
Adjectives are describing words. They tell us what something is like! Is it big? Small? Beautiful? Old? New? 🤔
🎯 Two Ways to Use Adjectives
1. After BE (is/are/am):
My room is big.
The games are fun.
2. Before a NOUN:
I have a new phone.
She has long hair.
📝 Word Order: Adjective BEFORE Noun
✅ a big room | ❌ a room big
