Adjective Noun
What are Adjectives
 Generally, adjectives explain or describe nouns by
giving little information regarding an object’s shape,
size, age, color, material or origin.
 The simple explanation of an adjective is that adjective
is a word which explains or describes or clarifies a
noun.
Articles are adjectives :
A dog
The happy girl
An apple
Some apples
Few people

Numbers are adjectives:


Five books
Twenty papers
Adjectives are colors:
brown boxes
the blue sky
green apples

Adjectives are shapes:


round containers
a square room
Adjectives are sizes:
tiny egg

GIF decompressor

Adjectives are conditions:


frightened man

energetic dog Q uickTime™ and a


GIF decompressor

QuickTime™ and a
GIF decompressor

silly behavior
are needed to see this picture.
Adjectives can also be:
1. Phrases:
A cat with orange fur is always in
the driveway.
2. Clauses:
Everyone who wants to go needs
to get on the bus.

3. Participles:
The flashing lights were cameras.
Rule 1: Adjectives usually come
BEFORE the noun they describe:
Examples:
the tall man
the black cat
Note: The articles (a, an, the) are
adjectives.
Exception to Rule 1: When indefinite
pronouns (such as something,
someone, anybody) are modified
by an adjective, the adjective
comes after the indefinite
pronoun:
Someone guilty of doing
something cruel to humans or
animals deserves to be
punished.
Exception to Rule No. 1:
When adjectives follow a linking verb, they
are called PREDICATE ADJECTIVES. In
this case they modify the noun subject, but
they are in the predicate of the sentence.
Examples:
Juana is beautiful.
Ahmed looks handsome.
That boy appears too young to drive.
Another exception to Rule No. 1:
Adjective clauses and phrases
follow the noun they modify.
Examples:
A woman who works in my
office is not here today.
You can wear the suit in the
closet.
Adjectives have three forms depending on the
number of nouns being described or compared.

Positive Comparative Superlative


(Describing (Comparing (Comparing
one) two) -er + three or
than more) the + -
est
tall taller than the tallest

rich richer than the richest

big bigger than the biggest
