Forming adjectives in English grammar is a crucial skill that assists in more expressive and detailed communication. Adjectives are describing words used to modify or describe nouns or pronouns. They usually provide information about size, shape, age, color, origin or material. The formation of adjectives can be through addition of suffixes, conversions from other forms of speech, and compound words.
