The main function of an adjective is to modify a noun with which it agrees in gender and number. The adjective completes the meaning of a noun in two ways:
- directly, by preceding it, or following it. In this case, it modifies the noun or adds information about the noun.
- indirectly, through a verb. In this case the adjective performs the function of attribute or predicate, and must match the noun it references.
