Adjectives 

are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns.

Examples:

Margot wore a beautiful hat to the pie-eating contest.

Furry dogs may overheat in the summertime.

My cake should have sixteen candles.

The scariest villain of all time is Darth Vader.

Degrees of comparison

Adjectives come in three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative.

Comparative adjectives, unsurprisingly, make a comparison between two or more things. For
most one-syllable adjectives, the comparative is formed by adding the suffix -er (or just -r if the
adjective already ends with an e). For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, replace -y with -ier.
For multi-syllable adjectives, add the word more.

Examples:

A cooler guy

A messier desk

A more mischievous cat

Superlative adjectives indicate that something has the highest degree of the quality in question.
One-syllable adjectives become superlatives by adding the suffix -est (or just -st for adjectives
that already end in e). Two-syllable adjectives ending in -y replace -y with -iest. Multi-syllable
adjectives add the word most. When you use an article with a superlative adjective, it will almost
always be the definite article (the) rather than a or an. Using a superlative inherently indicates
that you are talking about a specific item or items.

Examples:

The coolest guy.

The messiest desk.

The most mischievous cat.

Underline the adjective in each sentence. Then, write the noun the adjective describes on the line.

A demonstrative  adjective is an adjective used to specifically describe the position of

something or someone in space or time.

The most commonly used demonstrative adjectives are this, that, these, and those.

Examples:

This green ball is mine.

That huge, ferocious lion looks really hungry.
I want these sparkly sunglasses.
Those sly, suspicious-looking sneaks have shifty schemes.

Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing.

Examples:
Mark eats his dinner quickly.
We went to the market.
You write neatly in your notebook.
They thought about all the prizes in the competition.

State of being verbs are inactive since no action is being performed. These verbs, forms of
to be, such as am, is, are, are usually complemented by adjectives.

Examples:

I am a student.
We are circus performers.
Please is quiet.

Transitive verbs are action verbs that has direct object.

Examples:
John punches him.
They sold the tickets.
They sell him the tickets.

Examples:
I sneeze in the morning.
He arrived with moments to spare.
Kathryn sat away from the others.
Auxiliary verbs are also known as helping verbs and are used together with a main verb to
show the verb’s tense or to form a question or negative.

Common examples of auxiliary verbs include have, might, will.
