Some adjectives require articles at the beginning of sentences, some do not.

Some adjectives require articles at the beginning of sentences, some do not. Why is this? I'm trying to assist a Korean student who is still learning the language how the following sentence is correct. "Little wrinkles of worry riddled my anxious forehead as I headed out the door," however this sentence, "Lazy tiger can't get it's food because it is lazy" is not correct.

Hi, It has nothing to do with the adjectives. It's to do with whether the noun is singular or plural. eg She has a wrinkle but not She has wrinkle.
