Adjectives describe nouns

If a word modifies a noun or pronoun, it is an adjective, even if that word is usually associated with a different part of speech. Adjectives usually come before nouns. Eg: Rape seed oil is an oil made from Rape seed, but Oilseed rape is the vegetable which this oil is made from.
A bus conductor is not a bus but a man who is a conductor.

Adjectives are used to tell us about nouns.
Adjectives usually go before the noun.
Adjectives don't change.
