What is a descriptive adjective?
A descriptive adjective is an adjective that modifies a noun or pronoun by describing it or
expressing its quality.
Take a look at the following sentences:

 He stood next to the tall woman.

 The monkeys were very loud.
In these sentences, the words tall and loud are descriptive adjectives. They both describe the
nouns they modify and tell us information we can use to describe the things they are referring
to. We know that the woman would need a high number to refer to her height, and we know
that the monkeys make noise that can be heard from far away.

List of descriptive adjectives

A great many of the adjectives you will find are descriptive adjectives. As long as an
adjective describes or qualifies the noun or pronoun it modifies, it is considered to be a
descriptive adjective. The following list gives just a few examples of descriptive adjectives:

 angry, blue, careful, dry, eager, fast, great, hot, incredible, jumpy, klutzy, little,
mighty, nice, outlandish, prim, quiet, rude, special, ticklish, undercover, vicious,
wide, young, zesty
Where do you include a descriptive adjective in a sentence?
Descriptive adjectives can be used either before the nouns or pronouns they modify or can be
used as the subject complement of a sentence following a linking verb.
 We played with the cute kittens.
 The skyscraper was humongous.

Descriptive adjective examples in a sentence

The following sentences have examples of descriptive adjectives. You’ll notice that all of
these adjectives tell you something about a the qualities or characteristics of a noun or
pronoun.

Example #1
 I don’t like cold weather. (The adjective cold modifies the noun weather. Cold is a
descriptive adjective that qualifies the weather by saying it has a low
temperature.)
Example #2
 Her clothes are really expensive. (The adjective expensive modifies the
noun clothes. Expensive is a descriptive adjective that tells us the clothes cost a lot
of money.)
Example #3
 We used red, green, and orange paint. (The adjectives red, green,
and orange modify the noun paint. All three of these adjectives are descriptive
adjectives that say what color the paint was.
