Let’s a t o k!!

adjective - a reminder
Adjectives can go before the noun (attributive) or after linking verbs such as be, become,
seem (predicative)

Descriptive adjectives work to provide information about a

quality/description of a noun.

Quantitative adjectives provide information about a quantity of a noun.

Demonstrative adjectives emphasize the importance of the noun and

whether it’s near or far.

Classifying adjectives are a type of attributive adjective used to divide

people or things into particular groups, types or classes (Age — shape —
Nationality — Material)
