How are you? A post about adjectives

have you noticed something. When you are in a classroom with EFL students and you say "hello class, How are you today?" their answer is "FINE, thank you. And you?" that really creeps me out. That makes me get sad. That is so annoying


Why is it that they are always fine?  Why don´t they use some other adjectives  ? 

can´t they get bored? can´t they get amazing every since in a while?

I was checking on how to use adjectives in English and I found a lot interesting things. Here I go.

Adjectives modify and / or describe the subjects of the sentences.





Modifying: 
such as:

A large tree

Describing: 
such as:

The tree is large





The main characteristic of the adjective is that its main intention is to give more information about an object. 

Order of adjectives:

Even though this is not a mandatory rule. It is good to know that adjectives are usually used in a certain order.

Adjectives and Adverbs:

Both modify something, but not the same. 
Adjectives modify nouns, 
while Adverbs modify verbs
