Nobody is willing to help! Adjectives certainly do. They are the only monopole that can push things forward and urge events to happen. They also have the ability as to make ugly things beautiful. Mr. Adjective however is the mastermind behind a lot of funny things that happen in language. All sentences invite adjectives whenever they decide to hold a party because the adjective and his "orchestra" are surely making it "lovely", "exciting" and "sensational". The dull sentence is the one void of "adjectives and band". When the adjective begins to operate on sentences, it is a lot of changes that are expected to happen. Mr. Adjective, with a single stroke from his "suffixes", can make an employed person "jobless"; and with his magic stick, he can turn an intelligent person "brainless". Suffixes are not the only tools that the adjective uses to convert nouns and verbs into "Adjectivism". He also uses "prefixes" effectively. Happy people can quickly become "unhappy"; helpful ones become "unhelpful" and so on. In a word this adjective gang is making a lot of ravages in the world of language.

Mr adjective has a large trained gang. Most of the members of the gang are close relatives to him. Comparatives and superlatives are his left and right-hand men. Adverbs are parts of his organization. They are always ready to work for him; If you don't like to do a good job, you can do it well thanks to the adverb. Mr Adjective uses camouflage in some of his operations. "The fast car runs fast": In this example he works as both an adjective and an adverb. The Chameleon-like adjective is greatly amazing. He sometimes permits to nouns to achieve their projects on some sorts of derivations through him. Take for instance the ambitious verb "to clean" who wants to be a noun. He has first to pass through the adjective to be accepted as "clean", e.g:"a clean room". After that the adjective gives him the "visa" to go to the land of adverbs and becomes "cleanly" to eventually reach the level of nouns as "cleanliness".

The story is quite long. May be I'll come back to it to talk about the other funny things that this extraordinary Adjective can do within the different regions of language. Don't just miss it.

N.B.
Sometimes it seems impossible to describe something despite of all the adjectives that you may use. Some people think they are able to depict objects, people or situations as easily as they speak about the weather. This may somehow be true; but sometimes it not a matter of just "hot", "warm", "cold" or even "freezing" or "torrid": There are some emotional situations that the most expressive adjectives prove unable to do anything about. When an experience you want to share with some friends is (so exciting) or (so horrible) and you feel that your language repertoire is helpless to depict because the situation or the experience is more than what your adjectives can express, you jump over all the words and expressions that you've got in mind and just say:"OH ! How can I try?!"
