Adjectives and ProperAdjectives
The words that we use to describe people, places, and things arecalled adjectives.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun.
Adjectives describe, or modify, nouns in three ways.
Most adjectives come before the nouns they modify. Sometimesadjectives follow linking verbs and modify the subject, as in the exam-ple below. These adjectives are called predicate adjectives.
These inventions are important.
Some adjectives are formed from proper nouns and begin with acapital letter. These are called proper adjectives.
Proper adjectives are adjectives formed from proper nouns.
Proper adjectives often have the same form as the noun. Others areformed by adding an ending to the noun form.

Hehad no days off. When the Ory group was resting, hedbe playing at some dance or funeral. Often he blew sec-ond cornet with the Papa Celestins Tuxedo Brass Band.In later years he recalled, I thought I was in heaven,playing with that band. They had funeral marches thatwould touch your heart, they were so beautiful.
One day he was approached by a red-headed bandleader. It was Fate Marable, the riverboat king. Excellentjazz was being played on the excursion boats that glidedup and down the Mississippi. Easily the best of theseboat bands was Marables, of the steamer Sydney. Hisrepertoire was far more varied than that of any NewOrleans band. His men could read music!
