An adjective always describes a noun. An adjective can give us information about:

temperature: a cold winter, a hot chocolate

Adjectives often answer the question: what is …. like? and give either general or precise information:

 

What is Peter like? He's tall/handsome/blonde.

What is Mary like? She's mean/stupid/caring.

What is the bike like? It's beautiful/blue/squeaky.

What is the bike like to ride? It's easy/slow/fast.
