Adjectives  describe  the  nouns  by  answering  the  questions  which  one,  how
             many, what kind etc.

             Read the following examples:

             1.  Ram Prakash is an old           man.            (what kind of man)

             2.  The sky is blue       .                         (the colour of sky)

             3.  Arun is a tall     boy.                         (height of the boy)

             4.  Honey is sweet.                                 (the taste of the honey)
             5.  Jaya has three        chocolates.               (the quantity of the chocolates)

             adjective is modifying.
