Understanding Adjectives in English Grammar

  • Adjectives are words used with nouns to describe or point out a person, animal, place, thing, or to tell the quantity or number.
  • Adjectives can be used attributively when they are used before a noun, or predicatively when they are used after a linking verb.
  • Adjectives of quality describe the kind or quality of a person or thing, and answer the question "of what kind?"
  • Adjectives of quantity show how much of a thing is present and answer the question "how much?"
  • Adjectives of number show how many persons or things are meant, or in what order a person or thing stands.
  • Adjectives of number are divided into three kinds: definite numeral adjectives (cardinals and ordinals), indefinite numeral adjectives, and distributive numeral adjectives.
  • Demonstrative adjectives answer the question "which?" and include this, that, these, and those.
  • Interrogative adjectives ask questions and include what, which, and whose.
  • Emphasizing adjectives include own and very and are used to emphasize a point.
  • Exclamatory adjectives are used to express strong emotion and include the word "what".
  • Adjectives can be formed from nouns, verbs, and other adjectives.
