What Is Adjective
An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun or
a pronoun.
An adjective describes or modifies a noun.
In grammar, an adjective is a word whose main syntactic
role is to modify a noun or pronoun, giving more
information about the noun or pronoun's referent.
Collectively, adjectives form one of the traditional
English eight parts of speech, though linguists today
distinguish adjectives from words such as determiners
that also used to be considered adjectives.
Not all languages have adjectives, but most, including
English, do. (English adjectives include big, old, and
tired, among many others.) Those that do not,
typically use words of another part of speech, often
verbs, to serve the same semantic function; for
example, such a language might have a verb that
means "to be big", and would use a construction
analogous to "big-being house" to express what
English expresses as "big house".

 nice-nicer-nicest.
Sometimes the final consonant must be doubled:
 wet-wetter-wettest.
Adjective with three syllables,and some with two sylables, form their cmparative
with more, and superlative with most.
 Many two syllables adjective especially those which end in –er,-y or ly behave
like one syllable:

 Kindly-kindlier-kindliest
Kind Of Adjective’s
1. posessive adjective
2. demostrate adjective
3. introgrative adjective
4. indefinite adjective
5. adjective clause
6. adjective phrase
Possesive Adjective
A possessive adjective ("my," "your," "his," "her,"
"its," "our," "their") is similar or identical to a
possessive pronoun; however, it is used as an adjective
and modifies a noun or a noun phrase
Example Sentence
“I can't complete my assignment because I don't have
the textbook.”
In this sentence, the possessive adjective "my"
modifies "assignment" and the noun phrase "my
assignment" functions as an object. Note that the
possessive pronoun form "mine" is not used to modify
a noun or noun phrase.
Demonstrative Adjective
The demonstrative adjectives "this," "these," "that,"
"those," and "what" are identical to the
demonstrative pronouns, but are used as adjectives to
modify nouns or noun phrases,
Example Sentence
“When the librarian tripped over that cord, she
dropped a pile of books.”
In this sentence, the demonstrative adjective "that"
modifies the noun "cord" and the noun phrase "that
cord" is the object of the preposition "over."
Interrogative Adjective
An interrogative adjective ("which" or "what") is like
an interrogative pronoun, except that it modifies a
noun or noun phrase rather than standing on its own
(see also demonstrative adjectives and possessive
adjectives):
Example Sentence
“Which plants should be watered twice a week?”
Like other adjectives, "which" can be used to modify a
noun or a noun phrase. In this example, "which"
modifies "plants" and the noun phrase "which plants"
is the subject of the compound verb "should be
watered":
“What book are you reading?”
In this sentence, "what" modifies "book" and the noun
phrase "what book" is the direct object of the
compound verb "are reading
Indefinite Adjective
An indefinite adjective is similar to an
indefinite pronoun, except that it modifies a noun,
pronoun, or noun phrase,
Example Sentence
“Many people believe that corporations are under-taxed.”
The indefinite adjective "many" modifies the noun "people" and the
noun phrase "many people" is the subject of the sentence.
“I will send you any mail that arrives after you have moved to Sudbury.”
The indefinite adjective "any" modifies the noun "mail" and the noun
phrase "any mail" is the direct object of the compound verb "will send."
“They found a few goldfish floating belly up in the swan pound.”
In this example the indefinite adjective modifies the noun "goldfish"
and the noun phrase is the direct object of the verb "found":
“The title of Kelly's favourite game is All dogs go to heaven."
Here the indefinite pronoun "all" modifies "dogs" and the full title is a
subject complement.
Adjective Clause
An adjective clause is a dependent clause that
modifies a noun. It is possible to combine the
following two sentences to form one sentence
containing an adjective clause:
Example Sentence
“The children are going to visit the museum.”
“They are on the bus.”
The children who are on the bus are going to visit the museum.
In the sentence above, there are two other ways to write the
sentence correctly using the second sentence as the adjective
clause.
“The children that are on the bus are going to visit the museum.”
“The children on the bus are going to visit the museum.”
Some other sentences can be combined into a sentence using
adjective clauses in a variety of ways, and they are all correct. Note
the variety of ways in which the following two sentences can be
combined.
Adjective Phrase
An adjectival phrase or adjective phrase is a phrase
with an adjective as its head. Just as a regular one-word
adjective, adjective phrases are used to modify nouns
or pronouns. That is to say, they give an additional
detail about the meaning of a noun.[1] It is important
to remember that the predicate can also be right
before the noun or as the complement after a linking
verb. Adjective phrases can be formed by: 1.) two
adjectives or 2.) an intensifier + an adjective.
Example Sentence
Example :
“The nice, pretty, intelligent girl”
This adjective phrase has three heads modifying the
noun girl.
“I bought a pound of jellybeans.”
 
Of jellybeans is an adjective preposition because it is
asking what kind of pound — a pound of jellybeans.
