Work out the rule
We use an adjective before a noun to describe a thing or a person.
a bright star lovely children
a close relative an old umbrella
a funny snowman a warm coat
heavy rain a windy day
Things to remember
Sometimes we form an adjective like this:
wind (n.) → windy (adj.) rain (n.) → rainy (adj.)
But note the spelling change with:
sun (n.) → sunny (adj.) fog (n.) → foggy (adj.)
Sometimes we can turn a ________ into an ____________ by adding -y to the word.
adjective
noun
