The usefulness of an adjective comes from it’s ability to characterize a noun, giving more detailed and imaginative information about the object of discussion. Adjectives add the ability to visualize something more clearly to a reader, convey feelings with more emotion, and to describe exactly what the speaker or writer wants. The perfect adjective can mean the difference between a flavorful, juicy, medium-well cheeseburger and a basic mass-produced fast food sandwich. It’s all in how you describe what you want.
