Quick Fact: The most common adjectives in the world are the
“Articles.” The Articles are a, an, and the.
Here’s a sentence that, technically, includes three adjectives:
The chef cut an orange with a knife.
For our purposes, though, when hunting for Adjectives, we will ignore
Articles—there are just too many of them!!
