IMPORTANCE OF PARTS OF SPEECH.
ADJECTIVE
(MAHENDIRAN.V)
--------------------
A word that describes quality of a noun, placing before or placing after a be form verb is called ADJECTIVE.
" She is a BEAUTIFUL girl"
" She is BEAUTIFUL"

BEAUTIFUL is adjective here. It is describing the girl's quality.

First one is ATTRIBUTIVE ADJECTIVE and the second one is PREDICATE ADJECTIVE.

Another one is there, that is, POST POSITIVE POSITION.
"Kamarajar THE GREAT was genius and honest in politics"
(Genius and honest also adjectives here. They are in PREDICATE position.)
This position is used rarely in the language.

Anyway, an adjective can function in three positions.
Attributive position (placing before a noun) and Predicate position (placing after a 'be' form verb in pure present or past tense) are frequently used in the language. The last one is post positive position. Rarely it is used.

Let's go the ATTRIBUTIVE position. That is very important.
