The most common use of adjectives is to describe a noun. There are two kinds of adjectives that function in this way, :ref:`attributive<adjective-attributive>` adjectives and :ref:`predicative<adjective-predicative>` adjectives.
|
|
In almost all instances, an ``attributive adjective`` immediately follows the noun that it
|
|
describes and has the same form in gender, number, and :ref:`definiteness<definiteness>`.
|
|
Thus, if the noun is masculine, the adjective is also masculine. If the noun is singular, the adjective is
|
|
also singular. If the noun is definite, the adjective is also definite; and so on. |
