 Adjectives Facts

Adjectives are a part of speech that modify nouns and pronouns.

The adjective generally gives more vivid description of the noun
or the pronoun through using descriptive, proper, limiting,
determiners, and interrogative words. The following forms of
adjectives can be combined in order to modify the subject or
object of the sentence more.

ADJECTIVE AS A PART OF SPEECH

★ An adjective is a part of speech that modifies a noun or a pronoun.

This part of speech makes the word it is describing clearer, more
vivid, and more specific.
★ Adjectives are not limited to the describing words that typically
modify the objects. They also indicate possession, demonstrate,
quantify, and even the combination of these.
★ In the case of nouns, adjectives can be written before or after the
person, place, object, or event that it describes.

Example 1:
I will get the most out of this
beautiful day.
The adjective in this sentence is the
word beautiful, and it describes the
noun ‘day’. In this example, you will
see that the adjective comes before
the verb.

★ Example 2:
This day is beautiful.
This example uses the same adjective and modifies the same noun.
However, the adjective is written after the noun.
★ Note that even if it is possible to put the adjective before or after the
noun it describes, it is still important to be cautious when writing, so
that the meaning and the structure will not be compromised.

ADJECTIVES AND DEGREES OF COMPARISON

★ Since adjectives are used to

modify nouns, their degrees can
also vary especially if the
adjective is comparing one object
to another.
★ This is called the degree of
comparison.
★ The first degree is called
positive. It is when the adjective
used as well as the object that it big→ bigger→ biggest
is describing does not involve
comparison.

★ Example: The dessert is cold.
In this example, the adjective ‘cold’ is used to describe the dessert
without comparing it to another object. Thus, this is an example of a
positive adjective. Therefore, the adjective will be written as it is.
★ Other Examples:
○ Her dish is delicious.
○ The windows are big.
○ They are colorful.
★ The next degree is the comparative degree where the adjective is
also used to compare a noun or a pronoun to another noun or
pronoun. In order to establish this form of comparison, the adjective
uses the inflection -er, more, or another form of adjective
(depending on the case of the word). The -er also shows which
object is more than the other object.
★ Example: The water is colder than the dessert.
In this example, the adjective ‘colder’ is used to compare two
objects–water and dessert. In order to show this, the adjective ‘cold’
used the inflection -er.
★ Other Examples:
○ Her dish is more delicious.
○ The windows in your room are bigger than the window here.
○ The dress is more colorful than the shirts.

★ The last degree is called the
superlative adjective. This is used
to compare more than two
nouns/pronouns. It uses ‘the’ before
writing the adjective with the -est
inflection which shows that it is the
Good, better, best is an example of a degree most among the objects being
of comparison where the word does not compared.
follow the conventional way of writing the
comparative and superlative form of ★ Some adjectives, just like in the
adjectives. case of comparative degree, use
the intensifier ‘most’.
★ Example: This salad is the coldest in their menu.
In this example, the adjective ‘coldest’ is used to show that it is the
most among the other objects being compared in the sentence. It
expresses the superiority of the object (in terms of the specified
quality) through the inflection -est being added to the word ‘cold’.
★ Other Examples:
○ Her dish is the most delicious among the other dishes.
○ The windows in your room are the biggest of all the other
windows in this house.
○ The dress is the most colorful piece of clothing that you have
ever worn.

TYPES OF ADJECTIVES

★ The most common type of

adjective that many may have
been acquainted with is the
descriptive adjective. However,
there are other types of
adjectives that modify a noun or
a pronoun in a different way.
★ Articles such as a/an and the
are one type of adjective.
★ The a/an is used to introduce
non-specific objects where as
the is used for specific objects.
★ Examples:
Sentence 1: I will post it on a door.
Sentence 2: I will post it on the door.
These sentences generally express the same meaning. However,
the use of articles made the difference. The article in the first
sentence shows that there is no specific door while the article in the
second sentence shows that there is a specific door.
★ The second type of adjective is possessive adjective. Possessive
adjectives are possessive pronouns (my, your, her, his, its, our,
their) that modify the objects by showing possession.
★ Examples
Mrs. Kendrick fetches her kids everyday.
David wants to check their appointment.
My output was submitted yesterday.
In these examples, the possessive pronouns are used to modify the
objects more through showing who possess a certain object in each
sentence. This gives more information about the object.

★ The next type of adjective is the demonstrative adjective. These
demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those) are used to
demonstrate certain objects. They modify the object through
indicating their location as well as suggest their quantity.
★ Examples:
This apple is delicious. (near-singular)
That apple is delicious. (far-singular)
These apples are delicious. (near-plural)
Those apples are delicious. (far-plural)
The sentences show different demonstration of the noun (apple). It
shows where the object is as well as whether it is singular or plural.
★ The next type of adjective is the proper adjective which uses
proper nouns to describe or modify the noun.
★ Examples:
I love Mexican food.
This Japanese costume is really adorable.
The Carribean house is located there.
In these examples, the objects ‘food’, ‘costume’, and ‘house’ were
modified through specifying it using the proper nouns ‘Mexican’,
‘Japanese’, and ‘Caribbean’.
★ Another type of adjective is the quantifying adjective which limits
nouns and pronouns by grouping them together through quantifiers
such as many, some, few, several, etc. Cardinal (one, two, three)
and ordinal (first, second, third) numbers also limit nouns and
pronouns.
★ Examples:
I have several questions.
The first puppy is so adorable.
The quantifiers used in the examples suggest the number and the
order of the objects.

 Adjectives Facts
★ Adjectives can also be compound. This is when compound words
are used to describe a noun or a pronoun. If the compound
adjective is written before the noun, a hyphen should be used. On
the other hand, if the adjective is written before the noun, a hyphen
is not necessary.
★ Examples:
The well-written essay was done by me.
The essay done by me was well written.
Both the compound adjectives in each sentence above describe the
same object. However, how they are written varies based on
whether the compound adjective comes before or after the object.
★ The last type of adjective is known as the coordinate adjectives
wherein a group of adjectives, separated by comma, are used to
describe a noun.
★ Examples:
It was a beautiful, sunny Monday.
The party was a fantastic, memorable one.
The example sentences use more than one adjective in describing
the object, and these adjectives are separated by a comma.

ORDER OF ADJECTIVES
★ Basically, an object that is modified
follows the basic structure.

DETERMINER ADJECTIVE NOUN

★ The determiners can be the article,

demonstrative, and possessive
adjectives whereas the adjectives can
be quantity, quality, size, age, shape,
A group of adjectives can be used to
describe even one object, so they
color, proper adjective, and purpose.
follow a certain order.

 Adjectives Facts
★ The arrangement of the group adjectives that will be used to
describe the noun may be tricky as you have to categorize the type
of adjective in order to identify which should be written first, next,
and last.
★ Creating a table may be helpful in writing this adjective case.
★ Example:
Determiner: These
Adjectives: big, colorful, drawing, two
Noun: board

adjective

purpose
quantity

quality

shape

Proper
color
size

age

two big colorful drawing

★ This order will present a coordinate adjectives that utilize a comma.

In this case, you need to determine when you are going to use the
comma.
★ If all the adjectives are used to
describe the noun, a comma should
separate the adjectives. However, the
proper adjective, origin, and purpose
are excluded from this rule. Therefore,
the conjunction ‘and’ can be used.
★ Hence, the example should be written
this way:
These two, big, colorful drawing
boards
