    Antecedent and Relative Pronoun

    • An antecedent is a clause or a word that a relative pronoun refers to.
    • When the antecedent is a clause, the verb is always singular.

    Demonstrative Adjective/Pronoun

    • A demonstrative adjective or pronoun is used to point out a specific thing or person.
    • Examples: this, that, these, those.
    • 'That' is a demonstrative adjective when it qualifies a noun, e.g., "that car".
    • 'That' is a conjunction when it connects two clauses.

    Types of Adjectives

    • Demonstrative Adjective: used to point out a specific thing or person, e.g., this, that, these, those.
    • Possessive Adjective: used to show ownership or possession, e.g., my, our, his, her, its.
    • Numeral Adjective: used to represent the number or order of something, e.g., one, two, three, first, second, third.
    • Proper Adjective: derived from a proper noun, e.g., Italian, German, Gandhian.
    • Qualitative Adjective: used to describe the features or qualities of a noun, e.g., nice, big, new, circular, red.
    • Quantitative Adjective: used to modify nouns by providing information about their quantity or number, e.g., few, many, little, much.

    • An infinitive is a verb form that starts with "to", e.g., "to sleep".
