How do I get to that point though? Where did you get "What kind of transportation?"

anonymous · Answer

Erm... He just asked a question...

anonymous · Answer

An adjective describes a noun, so that's why he asked that question.

?

anonymous · Answer

I know that much I just don't understand how I would figure it out on other questions

anonymous · Answer

Do you know the adjective in this sentence?
"He is wearing a blue shirt"

@QueenDonut

I get to this point because transportation is the noun in which is currently being described in the sentence.

Understand ?

The trick to identifying one in a sentence is to look at the first word of the group of words. If the first word is an adverb or preposition, there is a good chance that the phrase is an adjective phrase. Ask yourself, what is this phrase modifying? Is it describing the noun?
