In addition to descriptive words (e.g., pretty, blue, classic, tired), there are several other kinds of adjectives, including:

Articles (e.g., an, a, the)
Compound adjectives (e.g., four-seater, 10-page)
Comparatives (e.g., stickier, taller, less cultivated)
Demonstrative adjectives (e.g., that, these)
Indefinite adjectives (e.g., some, few)
Possessive adjectives (e.g., my, her, its, their)

Your red cheeks give you away, my love. [show me the adjectives]
