Adjective

[saieed91]

General
Adjective is a part of speech that defines a characteristic of an object or concept. Adjectives usually answer the question 'what kind of?etc

Example
black; big; lazy; old
Adverb is a part of speech describing character or circumstances of an action. Adverbs usually answer the questions 'how? in what way? when? where?', etc

Example

Simply; very; slowly; lately; fast

Some English adjectives and adverbs do not differ in their form. The same word 'fast' can be an adjective or an adverb depending on whether it modifies a noun or a verb

Example
This is a fast car. The car goes fast
Since adjectives and adverbs function as modifiers to other parts of speech, they are often treated together as a group of modifiers
