Definition of an adjective.
An adjective (bijvoeglijknaamwoord) describes a noun (zelfstandignaamwoord) and gives it a characteristic.
For example: If we stood infront of many trees and I were to say 'look at the tree'. It is impossible to understand which tree I mean. But if I were to say 'look at that tall tree'. You look for tall trees and find the one I meant.
By adding more adjectives I could make my descripting more clear. If I were to say 'look at that tall, green, widley branched tree' it would make the descripting more specific.
When talking about multiple adjectives (bijvoeglijknaamwoord) you do not add 'and' between each word. (Swan, 2016)
Part of speech.
Adjectives (bijvoeglijknaamwoord) are part of speech, this means that every sentence has words with specific roles.
There are nouns (zelfstandignaamwoord), which are people places, buildings, things, and ideas.
Next there are verbs (werkwoorden), which is the action that takes place in a sentence, such as running, walking, talking and many more.
And there are adjectives (bijvoeglijknaamwoord) like green, round, wooden, and many others.

Location of the adjective.
An adjective comes, most of the time, before the noun.
For example: The kind girl shared her sweets.
Girls is the noun (zelfstandignaamwoord) in this sentence and kind tells something about the noun, which makes it an adjective (bijvoeglijknaamwoord).
