📝 Explanation:

Each of these words modifies a noun (like *knife*, *sky*, *clown*, *shoes*, etc.) by describing its characteristic — whether it’s how it looks, feels, smells, or functions.

For example:
- "sharp" tells us about the knife
- "blue" tells us about the sky
- "hungry" tells us about the fox

These are all descriptive words → adjectives.
