Define Adjective and its type?
An adjective is a word that describes, identifies, or quantifies a noun or pronoun, giving more information about its attributes, characteristics, or qualities. Adjectives can describe various aspects such as color, size, shape, quantity, and more.
There are several types of adjectives:
1. Descriptive Adjectives: Describe the qualities or states of being of nouns (e.g., "happy," "sad," "tall," "blue").
2. Quantitative Adjectives: Indicate the quantity of nouns (e.g., "some," "many," "few," "several").
3. Demonstrative Adjectives: Point out specific nouns (e.g., "this," "that," "these," "those").
4. Possessive Adjectives: Show ownership or possession (e.g., "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," "their").
5. Interrogative Adjectives: Used to ask questions about nouns (e.g., "which," "what," "whose").
6. Distributive Adjectives: Refer to individual members of a group (e.g., "each," "every," "either," "neither").
7. Proper Adjectives: Derived from proper nouns and typically capitalized (e.g., "American," "Chinese," "Shakespearean").
8. Numeral Adjectives: Indicate numbers or order (e.g., "one," "two," "first," "second").
9. Comparative Adjectives: Compare differences between two objects (e.g., "bigger," "smaller," "more beautiful").
10. Superlative Adjectives: Indicate the highest degree of a quality (e.g., "biggest," "smallest," "most beautiful").
