An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It tells you what kind, which one, how many, or whose: a tall tree, a cozy room, three cats. Adjectives usually sit before the noun (a red balloon) or after a linking verb like be, seem, or feel (the balloon is red).
A random adjective generator picks describing words at random, which helps writers break out of the same old words and gives teachers and game players a fresh set every time.
Muxgen's Random Adjective Generator draws on 351 adjectives in 13 categories, each with a simple meaning, a tone (109 positive, 78 negative, and 164 neutral), a difficulty level, and its comparative and superlative forms. It runs locally in your browser with no account.
