An adjective describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun and helps build a stronger picture in the reader's mind.

Ex.) humongous moose green eggs and ham

caring counsellor First Nations' land

Canadian women's hockey fan fuzzy, red sweater


Let's look at the importance of good adjectives to create descriptive writing.

Ex.) This is a dog. (Very basic!)

Try instead...

This is a hyperactive, tail-chasing, three-legged dog. (Now you have a much more specific image of the dog to imagine.)
