Kinds Of Adjectives

Adjectives can be classified into the following types

Adjectives of Quality

An adjective of quality describes the quality of the noun or pronoun. These are also called descriptive adjectives.

It answers the question ‘What kind’?

Example: Princess Diana had an elegant demeanor.

The firefighters are a courageous bunch.

Adjectives of Quantity

An adjective of quantity specifies the quantity or amount of a noun or pronoun. It is generally used with uncountable nouns. They answer the question ‘how much’?

Example:

• I’ll have some ice cream for dessert.
• Do we have enough food for the party?

Adjectives of Number

An adjective of number is used to indicate the exact or specific number of a noun or a pronoun. It is used with countable nouns It answers the question ‘How many’?

Example:

• There are seven days in a week.
• We bought a dozen roses for the anniversary.

Demonstrative Adjective

A demonstrative adjective is used to indicate or demonstrate which specific noun is being referred to.

It answers the question ‘Which?’

In English, there are four demonstrative adjectives, that, these, and those.

‘This’ and ‘These’ are used to denote a thing nearby or an event that is nearby, or has happened recently.

Example;

• What’s in this box?
• Please pick up these toys from the floor.

‘That’ and ‘those’ are used to refer to objects that are farther away, or to events that have happened further in the past, or are scheduled at a later time in the future.

Example:

• I remember that vacation we took last year.
• Who are those people waiting at the bus stop?’

Interrogative Adjective

An interrogative adjective is used to ask questions about a noun. It comes before the noun they qualify. There are only three interrogative adjectives- What, Which, and Whose.

Example:

• What time is the meeting?
• Which color do you prefer?
• Whose car is parked in the driveway?

Possessive Adjective

A possessive adjective shows ownership or possession. Some possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, and their.

Example:

• They painted their house blue.
• The dog wagged its tail.

Proper Adjective

A proper adjective is an adjective that is formed using a proper noun. The first letter of a proper adjective is always capitalized’

Example: She has a British accent.

Degrees Of Comparison

Adjectives are used to make comparisons between two or more nouns. When we use an adjective to compare the qualities of two or more nouns, we use degrees of comparison.

Example:

• Raghav is a strong boy. (Positive degree)
• Raghav is stronger than Vaibhav. (Comparative degree)
• Prem is the strongest boy in the class. (Superlative degree)

Forms Of Degree Of Comparison

Positive Degree of Comparison

The simple or base form of the adjective is called the positive degree.

For example;

• Neeta is a tall girl.
• He is a good student.

Comparative Degree of Comparison

A comparative degree of an adjective is used to compare the quality of two nouns.

For example;

• Neeta is taller than her friend
• He is a better student than the class monitor

Superlative Degree of Comparison

A superlative degree of an adjective is used to compare the quality of more than two nouns.

• Neeta is the tallest girl in her class
• He is the best student in the whole school’

Rules to form Comparative and Superlative Degrees of Adjectives

1. In most adjectives, we add ‘- er’ at the end of a positive degree of an adjective to make it comparative. We add ‘- est’ at the end of a positive degree of an adjective to make it superlative.

2. If an adjective ends with ‘y’ and has a consonant just before’, we remove it and add ‘ie’ at the end to make it comparative. We add ‘best’ at the end to make it superlative.

3. Sometimes the last letter of the positive adjective is doubled before adding’ for comparative and ‘-est’ for Superlative

4. In adjectives containing two syllables, we add more before the adjective to make it comparative’ Similarly’ we add most before the adjective to make it superlative

5. Some adjectives have completely different words as their comparatives and superlatives. They do not follow any of the rules given above.
