ADJECTIVES
Adjectives provide additional
information about the qualities,
characteristics, or attributes of the
nouns they modify.
 TYPES OF ADJECTIVES
Descriptive Adjectives:
Descriptive adjectives, also known as qualitative adjectives, are
the most common type of adjectives. They describe or specify the
qualities, characteristics, or attributes of nouns or pronouns.
Descriptive adjectives answer questions like "What kind?" or
"Which one?"
Examples:
"The red car"
"A beautiful sunset"
"He is tall and thin"
 TYPES OF ADJECTIVES
Demonstrative Adjectives:
Demonstrative adjectives are used to point out specific nouns or
indicate their proximity in relation to the speaker or listener.
They answer questions like "Which one?" or "Whose?"
Demonstrative adjectives include "this," "that," "these," and "those."
Examples:
"This book is interesting."
"That car belongs to my neighbor."
"These cookies are delicious."
"Those flowers are blooming beautifully."
 TYPES OF ADJECTIVES
Possessive Adjectives:

Possessive adjectives indicate ownership or possession of a noun.

They answer the question "Whose?"
Possessive adjectives include "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our,"
and "their."

Examples:
"My house is blue."
"Your cat is adorable."
"Her dress is elegant."
 TYPES OF ADJECTIVES
Quantitative Adjectives:
Quantitative adjectives indicate the quantity or amount of a noun.
They answer questions like "How many?" or "How much?"
Quantitative adjectives include "few," "many," "some," "several,"
"all," "any," "much," "little," "fewer," "more," etc.

alone.

 IRREGULAR COMPARATIVES
There are a few adjectives and adverbs that have irregular comparative
and superlative forms, meaning they do not follow the typical pattern of
adding "-er/-est" for comparatives and "more/most" for superlatives.

1. Good (adjective) → Better (comparative) → Best (superlative)

2. Bad (adjective) → Worse (comparative) → Worst (superlative)
3. Little (adjective) → Less (comparative) → Least (superlative)
4. Far (adverb) → Farther/Further (comparative) → Farthest/Furthest
(superlative)
5. Well (adverb) → Better (comparative) → Best (superlative)
ADJECTIVES
Adjectives provide additional
information about the qualities,
characteristics, or attributes of the
nouns they modify.
 ADVERBS
Adverbs provide additional information about the manner, place, time,
frequency, degree, or certainty of an action, event, or state.
They modify or describe verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, or entire
sentences.
1. Modifying Verbs:

2. Modifying Adjectives:

 FUNCTION
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs by providing
information about how, when, where, why, or to what extent something
happens.

Examples:
She sings beautifully. (How?)

He arrived yesterday. (When?)

They live nearby. (Where?)

He works hard. (To what degree?)

 TYPES

Example: She sings beautifully.
Place Adverbs: Describe where an action takes place.

emphasis, it helps maintain clarity and coherence in the sentence. The
typical order of adverbs is as follows:
Manner- Place-Time
EXAMPLES:
1. She gently (manner) set the vase on the table (place) this morning
(time).
2. He carefully (manner) arranged the books on the shelf (place)
yesterday (time).
