ADJECTIVE

a word that defines, qualifies or modifies the meaning of a noun or pronoun

ADJECTIVES
qualifying adjectives or classifying adjectives

qualifying/qualificative - passing or perceived qualities of a noun

● ex. big, nice, complicated, WONDERFUL

● gradable - can be used with very, quite, and enough

classifying/absolute - express permanent qualities or absolutes

● ex. second, hydraulic, married, dead

GRADATION OF ADJECTIVES
Can be used with adverbs of intensity/degree
These adverbs come before the adjective. But note the following points:

Enough: qualifying an adjective, enough comes, exceptionally, after the word it

qualifies.
● ex. I’m not happy enough.
Rather and quite: can either follow the article, or come before the article
● ex. quite a nice guy and a quite nice guy

Words that describe adjectives and verbs
ADVERBS UNRELATED TO ADJECTIVES
There are many common adverbs in English that are not related to adjectives;
they can be found in all four types, as illustrated above. These adverbs include
some important groups:

● Several common adverbs of frequency: sometimes, seldom, often etc.

● Several common adverbs of degree: quite, very, too, enough
● A number of "Sentence adverbs"
ADVERBS UNRELATED TO ADJECTIVES
SENTENCE ADVERBS
Adverbs qualifying a whole clause or a whole sentence

Some adverbs can apply (or in some cases only apply) to a whole sentence or
statement. These can be:

● adverbs formed from adjectives, including modal adverbs, such as

consequently, possibly, clearly, inevitably, naturally, obviously, surprisingly,
fortunately, or other modal adverbs such as maybe, even, just, or
● conjunctive adverbs such as therefore, perhaps, so, nevertheless, also...
SENTENCE ADVERBS
To understand how sentence adverbs such as therefore or perhaps are adverbs
like the others, just consider that therefore is a synonym of consequently, or that
perhaps can be a synonym of possibly.

Sentence adverbs are not conjunctions (like but, for or as), since conjunctions
must come at the start of their clause; the position of sentence adverbs is not
fixed, and they may be put at different places in the clause – though not in all
cases.
SENTENCE ADVERBS
PREPOSITIONS
A preposition is a short word that is most commonly used to show the relation
between two nouns, two pronouns, or a noun and a pronoun.

● prepositional adverbs - the adverbs that are related to prepositions
