Spoken English- Through Activities : Day-4

1. ADJECTIVES
-Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns: enormous, doglike, silly, yellow,
fun, fast. They can also describe the quantity of nouns: many, few, millions, eleven. For example:
•Margot wore a beautiful hat to the pie-eating contest.
•Furry dogs may overheat in the summertime.
•My cake should have sixteen candles.
•The scarie stvillain of all time is Darth Vader.

Degrees of Adjectives
The three degrees of an adjective are positive, comparative and superlative.
When you use them depends on how many things you’re talking about:
A positive adjective is a normal adjective that’s used to describe, not compare. For example: “This
is good soup” and “I am funny.”
A comparative adjective is an adjective that’s used to compare two things (and is often followed by the
word than). For example: “This soup is better than that salad” or “I am funnier than her.”
A superlative adjective is an adjective that’s used to compare three or more things, or to state that
something is the most. For example: “This is the best soup in the whole world” or “I am the funniest out of
all the other.”
