Adjectives

Adjectives -: An adjective modifies (qualities or limits the meaning of) a noun or a pronoun. It answers the questions, what kind? Which one(s)? How many? How much? etc.

eg;

       Candy read an interesting story?

          what kind of story.

The words: (a, an, the are the most frequently used adjectives.)

(they are sometimes referred to as articles or noun makers.) An adjective can come before or after the noun or pronoun. e.g. (noun)

Older cards are found on the table.

which cards?

Typically, an adjective follows a noun immediately, as in "a crimson clothing," "fifteen individuals."

Predicate adjectives are those that come after a connecting verb like be or seem, such as "That building is large" or "The employees look pleased." Although certain adjectives are usually used before a noun, the majority of adjectives can be employed as predicate adjectives.

A few adjectives describe characteristics that can be present to varying degrees or lengths (often by adding -er or -est) or be combined with other words like more, most, very, slightly, etc. For example, "the younger member" ,"the longest day of the year" ,"a very powerful sensation," or "more expensive than that one" are all examples of how the adjective will either change in form.

This, that, these, and those are the four demonstrative adjectives, and they are interchangeable with the demonstrative pronouns. They are employed to set the object or person being described apart from others in the same class or category. This and these refer to close or current individuals or objects. When referring to individuals or objects that are not present, nearby, in the past, or in the future, the words that and those are employed. These adjectives usually occur before any other adjectives that modify a noun, together with the definite and indefinite articles (a, an, and the).

An unidentified or unfamiliar person or object, as well as a group or class of such things, are all described by an indefinite adjective. All, another, any, both, each, either, enough, every, few, half, least, less, little, many, more, most, many, neither, one (and two, three, etc.), other, several, some, such, entire are the most often used indefinite adjectives.

Questions usually start with interrogative adjectives, primarily which, what, and whose. They can also be used as pronouns in questions.
