                                                          ADJECTIVES

            Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking much more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Words like small, blue, and sharp are descriptive, and they are all examples of adjectives. Because adjectives are used to identify or quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually positioned before the noun or pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple adjectives.

KIND OF ADJECTIVES 

Adjective of quantity

An adjective of quantity tells us the number (how many) or amount (how much) of a noun.

• He has eaten three apples.
• I don’t have much money.
• There is so much wine for the guests.
• This long, thin centipede has many legs.

Demonstrative adjective

A demonstrative adjective (this, that, these, those) shows the noun it modifies is singular or plural and whether the position of the noun is near or far from the person who is speaking or writing. A demonstrative adjective also points out a fact about the noun.

• This red balloon is mine and those three yellow ;ones are yours.
• This cute baby is his brother. That cute baby is his sister.
• These two fat cats have tails, but that thin cat doesn’t have a tail.

Possessive adjective

A possessive adjective expresses possession of a noun by someone or something. Possessive adjectives are the same as pos

COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES

When we compare two or more nouns, we make use of comparative adjectives and superlative adjectives. We use the following three forms of comparison when we compare two or more nouns.

The absolute form

We use the absolute degree to describe a noun or to compare two equal things or persons.

Examples:

• My uncle is bald.
• My uncle is as bald as a cue ball. 

The comparative form

When comparing two nouns, we use a comparative form of adjective to describe how one person or thing is when compared to another person or thing. In making such a comparison, we have to use the word than to show that one noun is bigger, longer, taller, etc. than the other one.

Examples:

• A hen's egg is bigger than a pigeon's egg.
• Our fingers are longer than our toes. 

The superlative form

When comparing three or more nouns, we use a superlative form of adjective. We use the word the when using the superlative adjective to compare.

Examples:

• My great grandfather is the oldest one in the family.
• She has the prettiest face in the whole school. 

More and most

We can use the words more and most in front of an adjective to form respectively the comparative and superlative. Use the adverbial more with most adjectives that have two or more syllables, and most with all adjectives that have more than two or more syllables. For example, the word big has one syllable, funny has two syllables, and beautiful has three syllables. Regardless of the number of syllables, the adjective itself does not change in form when used with more or most.

Two syllables

• She is more careless with money than her husband is.
• Sometimes, she was the most cheerful person in the office.

Three syllables

• The professor is more forgetful than his students are.
• That is the most foolish thing he has ever done.

We use the Comparative degree to compare two unequal nouns.

• Example: His house is bigger than my house.

We use the Superlative degree to compare three or more Nouns.

• Example: His house is the biggest in the neighbourhood
