What is an adjective?
An adjective is a word that describes a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea). It tells us *what kind*, *how many*, or *which one*.
Examples:
- "big" describes "pumpkin" → "big" is an adjective, "pumpkin" is the noun.
- "scary" describes "costume" → "scary" is an adjective, "costume" is the noun.
