One of the most important parts of English grammar that students need to understand in the context of sentences is adjectives. The function of adjectives in sentences is related to semantics, as it relates to the meaning of a noun within the sentence, which means that adjectives modify the value of another word when describing it.
The characteristics of adjectives in sentences can express qualities, defects, states or conditions. Adjectives in English can be invariable in terms of gender (masculine or feminine) and numbers. Thus, the same adjective in English can be used to characterize feminine and masculine nouns, or in the singular and plural. Example:
- Ana has a new cat.
- They have four new cats.
