ADJECTIVES

An adjective is a word that tells us

more about a noun or a pronoun.

An adjective describes or modifies a

noun.
 SHORT ADJECTIVES

Short adjectives have one or two sylables.

For example:

add “er” to the adjective and to form the
superlative of superiority we add “est”. e. g.

Nicida and Yeny is the tallest in the classroom.

Chota and Lima is the biggest city in Peru.
