An Adjective is a word used to qualify a Noun or a Pronoun. Since this word tell us something about a person to a thing, it can modify the word denoting that person or that thing.

A tall man walks along the road.

The above mentioned sentence talks about a tall man. This sentence speaks about the kind of man he is.

Now an additional word TALL has been added to speak about the kind of the noun A MAN. Here the word TALL is an adjective.

The word of adjective should be added either before or after the noun which it modifies. When this word comes before the noun which it modifies, it is an attribute position.

1. She is an educated girl.

1. The fat old lady is there in the office.
2. The rich abusive owner of this house is waiting for you in the hall.

When the adjectives are used after the noun, we need to add AND just between the last two adjectives.
