What is an adjective?

An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun. (By "noun" we include pronouns and noun phrases.)
An adjective "qualifies" or "modifies" a noun (a big lion).
Adjectives can be used before a noun (I like Sri Lankan food) or after certain verbs (It is hard).
We can often use two or more adjectives together (a beautiful young Indian lady).
