What is an adjective ?

An adjective is a word that gives information about noun and pronoun.

Adjectives are words used to clarify or add meanings in noun and pronoun.

Physics is the branch of science.

.

Hot and tasty are adjectives.

NOTE: Adjectives comes before noun and after nouns.

Two Types of Adjectives:-

Determiners    and    descriptive
(Less interesting)               (more interesting)

 - his, her, my, yours             - beautiful, big
- this, that, these                   - small, tall, short
- what, whose, which           - blue
- articles  - a/an/the              - yellow

Determiners are a small group of grammar words that acts as adjectives.

Word my acts as adjectives

Which team do you think will win the next match?

Comparatives and Superlatives:


Comparatives and superlatives are words used to compare two nouns and pronouns.

In comparatives we use er and in superlatives use est form.

He is taller than Ali.



Comparatives:

The corvette is more expensive than the BMW.

The BMW is less expensive than the corvette.

Superlatives:

The corvette is the most expensive of the two cars.

The BMW is the least expensive of the two cars.

In some adjectives we don't use more and most, we use er and est at the endings.

Adjectives     Comparatives      Superlatives

black                     blacker                blackest
bold                       bolder                  boldest
deep                      deeper                  deepest
wise                       wiser                    wisest
fat                           fater                     fattest

Some adjectives are irregular you cannot guess that they are comparatives or superlatives.

 For example
good                      better                    best
bad                        worse                   worst

 Below sentences have errors, correct them!

Ali is more taller than Ahmed.

Ronaldo is the most richest footballer in the World.

.

Ali is
moretaller than Ahmed

Ronaldo is the

richest footballer in the world.


If there is est or er form don't use more or most.

 more taller = more more taller


Order of adjectives:-


If there are more than one adjectives, there is a fix order, where to put first and second . . . .
