Much easier to have the picture to explain this to you.

The adjascent angles have their nonadjascent rays forming one of the lines, and form supplementary angles (meaning 180 degrees when their measures are summed). Adjascent means "next to", or "neighboring and in contact".

The above picture shows two lines crossing. Angle 1 and angle 2 are adjascent angles, and you see that they sit together forming supplementary angles. The sum of angle 1 and angle 2 is a straight angle, or 180 degrees.
