Adjectives Grammar Rules
In general adjectives are words which describe or modify another person or object in a given sentence. For example: a beautiful flower the adjective is [beautiful] because it describes the noun [flower]. The following examples use adjectives in different ways and places to demonstrate how they behave in a sentence.

| my house is white [noun + adjective] | huset mitt er hvitt |
| your country is big [noun + adjective] | ditt land er stort |
