1.1. Adjective Meaning

An adjective is a word that describes the traits, qualities, or number of a noun. An

adjective is a part of speech that can be used to describe or provide more information about a
noun or pronoun that acts as the subject in a sentence.

Adjectives are words that are used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns. For
example, red, quick, happy, and obnoxious are adjectives because they can describe things—a
red hat, the quick rabbit, a happy duck, an obnoxious person.

1.3. Examples of Adjectives Sentences

An adjective is a word that customizes and intensifies a noun or a pronoun. It gives

before the noun or the pronoun that it modifies. We can use more than one adjective to describe a
noun or a pronoun and when a noun comes before another noun, it becomes its adjective.

descriptive adjective. They show quality, size, origin, color, shape, taste, acts, feel, look or some
other quality of nouns and pronouns. Example sentences as below: The green balloon is burst.

adjectives. However, they are generally considered as adjectives of quality. Example Sentences
as below: Swiss chocolates are famous all over the world.

c. Adjective of Quantity

Adjectives of quantity indicate the quantity of nouns and pronouns. Example Sentences
as below: Just a little juice is left in the mug.

d. Numeral Adjectives

Adjectives of number show how many things or persons are meant. They also tell us the order in
which the person or thing stands. These types of adjectives are also known as numeral adjective.
Example Sentences as below: Bagus bought six oranges.

e. Interrogative Adjectives

Interrogative adjectives are words used along with nouns to ask questions. Example Sentences as
below: Whose car is this?

Difference between interrogative adjectives and interrogative pronouns.

We use the words what, which, whose as both interrogative adjectives and interrogative
pronouns. However, in case of interrogative adjectives, nouns or pronouns follow them. In other
words, an interrogative adjective modifies a noun or noun phrase rather than standing on its own.
 Example of interrogative adjective: Whose pen is this?
Example of interrogative pronoun: Whose is this pen?
f. Demonstrative Adjectives

The word demonstrative suggests ‘pointing out’. The adjectives that point out nouns are
called demonstrative adjectives. These show whether the noun they refer to is singular or plural
and whether it is located near or far.
Demonstrative adjectives answer the question, ‘which?’
Example Sentences as below:

 This pen is very expensive.

 Look at that bill board.
Difference between demonstrative adjectives and demonstrative pronouns
A demonstrative adjective is always followed by a noun.
For example: That lake is very beautiful.

A demonstrative pronoun is used to refer back to a noun that is not mentioned specifically. For
example: Would you deliver this parcel?

g. Possessive Adjectives

The adjectives that show possession or belonging are called possessive adjectives. My, your, his,
her, its, our and their are possessive adjectives used with nouns to show ownership. Example
Sentences as below: This bicycle was gifted by my grandfather. Difference between possessive
adjectives and possessive pronouns. A possessive pronoun is used instead of a noun.
For example: Susan’s basket is small. Mine is big.

The relative adverbs –where, when and why (how is sometimes included as well) –
