Adjective

An adjective is a word that qualifies a noun and a pronoun.

Some of the main types of adjectives are:

 Attributive adjectives.

 Predicative adjectives.

 Postpositive Adjective

1. Attributive Adjective

Adjectives that sit right before a noun and express the quality, fault, or condition of the noun i.e.
attribute, are called Attributive Adjectives.

Examples:

1. The red pen is on the table.

2. The kind man helps the poor.

2. Predicative Adjective

The adjectives that qualify the noun or pronoun after the verb or verb as predicate or predicate,
i.e. express quality, then they are called Predicative Adjectives.

Examples:

1. The milk is hot.

2. Moumita is very beautiful.

3. Postpositive Attributive Adjectives

When adjectives describe indefinite pronouns and the pronoun 'those', they must appear
postpositively.

Examples:
1. She wants to try something new.
