Adjectives include all words that describe a noun; also, in most cases, adjectives are placed before the noun they describe or modify. In the sentence "Ten girls were running for homecoming Queen" there are two nouns and two modified words. The first adjective is the word "ten" because this modifies the noun "girls" by explaining the number of this noun. The second adjective is "homecoming", this adjective modifies the noun "Queen" because this word describes the role of the Queen or the context related to the role of Queen. According to this "ten" modifies "girls" and "homecoming" modifies "Queen."
