Attributive Adjectives

Attributive Adjective - an adjective that comes before a noun and describes or modifies that noun.

Example: Intelligent people think. ("Intelligent" is an adjective modifying "people.")

Example: I bought a new red bicycle. ("New" and "red" both modify bicycle. Even though the words come after the verb, they are still modifying the noun that comes next: bicycle.)
