What is an adjective?
Why do we use adjective?We often use adjectives to give
more information about things / people (nouns)
For example:
He is a man.
What kind of man is he?
JIM CARREY
He is a crazy man.
We can also compare nouns by using the comparative and superlative forms of an adjective.
Comparatives are used to compare two things/people.
What are the basic rules?

With most short adjectives- tall- short

With short adj. ending in a consonant + y
