An adjective is a word that describes a noun so, for example, if the noun was 'building' you could say a large building. Thus 'large' describes the building's size. An adverb does a similar function with a verb so if you said 'he ate noisily' then 'noisily' describes how he ate.

An adjective is a word the modifies or qualifies a noun of any sort. Types of adjectives (in parentheses):
The /red/ ball (attributive)
The /two/ teams (cardinal)
A piece of /this/ pizza (demonstrative)
/Each/ child (indefinite)
/What/ color? (interrogative)
The /first/ attempt (ordinal)
/Coloring/ book (participial)
/My/ answer (possessive)
This is /complicated/ (predicate adjective - refers back to subject)
Hopefully this helped.

A big yellow case.
Big and Yellow are adjectives.
NOT to be confused with adverbs, which help define a verb.
I ran slowly.
Slowly is an adverb.
