Best Coaching App - Adjectives

An adjective is a word that qualifies a noun or a pronoun.


Rohan is a handsome boy.
She is beautiful.
In the above sentences handsome and beautiful are giving us information about rohan and she respectively.

USE OF ADJECTIVE
Adjectives can be used in two ways-
1.ATTRIBUTIVELY
When an adjective is followed by a noun then it represents attributive use of adjective.
Eg. - He is a brave soldier.
Here soldier is noun and brave is adjective.

2.PREDICATIVELY
When a verb is followed by an adjective then it represents predicative use of adjective.
Eg. - He is brave.
Is -verb
Brave- adjective
TYPES OF ADJECTIVES
1. Descriptive adjective
These are the adjectives that show quality of a person.
He is popular.
She is miserly.

2. Demonstrative adjectives
These adjectives point out to the persons/things.
This, that, these, those
This book is mine.
These sweets are tasty.
That girl is beautiful.
TYPES OF ADJECTIVES
3. Adjectives of quantity
These adjectives show how much of a thing is meant.
Eg. -some,much,little,enough,sufficient,no,whole etc.
Some rice
Little patience
Sufficient milk
No sense
Adjectives of number-
These are of two types-
(a) Definite numeral adjectives
These denote exact no. of things/persons or order of things/persons.
Ten balloons
Third chapter

(b) Indefinite numeral adjectives


These instead of denoting exact no. of things/persons just give the idea of the number of things/persons.
Few. some, many, several,all etc.
Many people
Few question
Several persons
Definite numeral adjectives are further of two
types-
(a) Cardinal adjectives
These denote exact no. like one, two, three etc.
There are twenty eggs in the basket.
I am having five chocolates.

(b) Ordinal adjectives


These denote exact order of things or persons
Find errors if any:
1. Second chapter of this book is very tough.
2. Fourth row from right is vacant.
3. The two last seats of bus are vacant.
4. The three first chapters of this book are easy.
We always use article ”the” with ordinal adjectives. No such rule exist for cardinal adjectives.
The second chapter of this book is very tough.
The fourth row from right is vacant.

If both cardinal and ordinal adjective come in a single sentence then we always write ordinal first
and then cardinal adjective.
The last two seats of bus are vacant.
The first three chapters of this book are easy.
Degrees of Comparison
An adjective comes in three degrees-
(a)Positive degree-when there is no comparison.
Harish is tall.
Seema is beautiful.

(b)Comparative degree-when there is comparison between two people or two things.


Harish is taller than shyam.
Seema is more beautiful than reema.

(c)Superlative degree-when there is comparison between one Vs all.


Harish is the tallest of all the boys.
Seema is the most beautiful girl of class.
