An adjective is a word, a phrase or a clause used to describe a noun. Adjectives are invariable. They do not change their form depending on the gender or number of the noun. Adjectives describe nouns by answering one of these three questions: What kind is it? How many are there? Which one is it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

A red<\/strong> tomato\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some red<\/strong> tomatoes<\/p>\n

To strengthen or emphasise the meaning of an adjective words \u2018very\u2019 or \u2018really\u2019 are used. An adjective is usually placed in front of a noun or after verbs like \u2018to seem\u2019, \u2018to look\u2019, \u2018to be\u2019 or \u2018to taste\u2019.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A black<\/strong> hat<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You look beautiful<\/strong><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Long<\/strong> road<\/p>\n

Types of Adjectives<\/span><\/p>\n

Following types of adjectives are used most commonly:<\/p>\n

1. Adjectives of Number: answer the question \u2018how many\u2019<\/p>\n

Examples: three, thirty, fifteen<\/p>\n

2. Adjectives of Quantity: answer the question \u2018how much\u2019<\/p>\n

Examples: enough, some, little<\/p>\n

3. Adjectives of Quality: answer the question \u2018of what kind\u2019<\/p>\n

Examples: decent, small, big<\/p>\n

4. Demonstrative Adjectives: answer the question \u2018which\u2019<\/p>\n

Examples: this, that, those<\/p>\n

5. Interrogative Adjectives: ask question about a noun<\/p>\n

Examples: which, what, where<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Degrees of Adjectives<\/span><\/p>\n

Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative and superlative. Only the comparative and superlative show degree. Comparatives are used to compare two things and the superlatives are used to compare three or more things. the word than<\/em> frequently accompanies the comparative and the word the<\/em> precedes the superlative. The inflected suffixes -er<\/em> and -est<\/em> suffice to form most comparatives and superlatives, although we need -ier<\/em> and -iest<\/em> when a two-syllable adjective ends in y<\/em> (happier and happiest); otherwise we use more<\/em> and most<\/em> when an adjective has more than one syllable.<\/p>\n
