ADJETIVES

Adjectives describe or give information about nouns or pronouns.

Example:

The grey dog barked.

The good news is that the form of an adjective doesn't change. It doesn't matter if the noun being modified is male or female, singular or plural, subject or object.

Some adjectives give us factual information about the noun - age, size colour, etc. Some adjectives show what somebody thinks about something or somebody - nice, horrid, beautiful etc.

If you are asked questions with which, whose, what kind, or how many, you need an adjective to be able to answer.

There are different types of adjectives in the English language:

• Numeric: six, one hundred and one
• Quantitative: more, all, some, half, more than enough
• Qualitative: colour, size, smell etc.
• Possessive: my, his, their, your
• Interrogative: which, whose, what
• Demonstrative: this, that, those, these

• The articles a, an, and the and the possessives my, our, your, and their are also adjectives.
