This document defines and describes different types of adjectives. It explains that adjectives are used to describe, quantify, and identify nouns. The main types of adjectives discussed are: adjectives of quality, quantity, number, demonstrative adjectives, interrogative adjectives, and irregular comparisons. Rules for forming comparative and superlative forms of adjectives are provided. Exercises are included to test the understanding of adjective types and forms.
This is the first of a series of presentations prepared to give the students an overview of the classes of words in the English language.
We start off with nouns. In part one, we will cover the following topics:
• Types of words
• What is a noun?
• The difference between common and proper nouns
• The difference between concrete and abstract nouns
Easy to understand and learn English grammar. this presentation is a brief understanding of sentence for all age group, students, learners, executives, speakers, presenters, teachers.
Degree of comparison
The Degrees of Comparison in English grammar are made with the Adjective and Adverb words to show how big or small, high or low, more or less, many or few, etc., of the qualities, numbers and positions of the nouns (persons, things and places) in comparison to the others mentioned in the other part of a sentence or expression.
Kind of comparison :
Positive degree
Comparative degree
Superlative degree
POSITIVE DEGREE
Equal/positive degree is used to compare two things or persons which have same characteristic and feature.
The primary form of an adjective or adverb; denotes a quality without qualification,comparison, or relation to increase or diminution positive
Adjective- a word that expresses an attribute of something
Adverb- a word that modifies something other then a noun.
There are two more comparisons with the ‘positive form’ of the adjective words. They are :
(i) Degree of Equality: This comparison is used to compare two persons, animals or things to tell us that they are equal – having the same quality.
Example: There are two cats with the same height and weight, and look the same except for the colour.
Therefore we say:
The brown cat is as beautiful as the grey cat. (= Both the cats are the same.)
The word “beautiful” is an adjective in the ‘positive form’, and with the conjunction as…as it expresses the ‘degree of equality’.
(ii) Degree of Inequality: This comparison is used to compare two persons, animals or things to tell us that they are not equal – not having the same quality. Example: The brown cat is not so beautiful as the black & white cat.( They are not the same).The word “beautiful” is an adjective in the ‘positive form’, and with the conjunction so…as (and the negative ‘not’) it expresses the ‘degree of inequality’

This is the English gammer ppt Certainly! English grammar is the system of rules and conventions that govern the structure and use of the English language. It includes principles for how words are formed, how sentences are constructed, and how meaning is conveyed through syntax, punctuation, and morphology. English grammar covers various aspects such as parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc.), sentence structure (subject-verb agreement, word order), tense and aspect, punctuation, and more. Understanding and applying grammar correctly is crucial for effective communication in both spoken and written English.
In English the main Parts of Speech are Noun, Pronoun, Adjective, Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly describes about the Part of Speech Adjectives in very clear manner. Please use this Power Point Presentation for your Reference Purpose.
Do you know how to appreciate someone’s quality or his helpful efforts for you? We often wish to commend people on the basis of their behavior, helpful nature or any extraordinary skill or talents.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Adjectives - are words that are used to
describe (what kind of?) nouns and
pronouns and to quantify (how much
of?) and identify (which one?) them. In a
nutshell, Adjectives are what define
nouns and give them characteristics to
differentiate them from other nouns.
4. Adjectives of Quality
These adjectives are used to describe the
nature of a noun. They give an idea about
the characteristics of the noun by
answering the question ‘what kind’.
5. Examples:
Honest, Kind, Large, Bulky, Beautiful,
Ugly etc.
New Delhi is a large city with many
historical monuments.
Sheila is a beautiful woman.
6. Adjectives of Quantity
These adjectives help to show the amount
or the approximate amount of the noun or
pronoun. These adjectives do not provide
exact numbers; rather they tell us the
amount of the noun in relative or whole
terms.
7. Examples:
All, Half, Many, Few, Little, No,
Enough, Great etc.
They have finished most of the
rice.
Many people came to visit the
fair.
8. Adjectives of Number
These adjectives are used to show the
number of nouns and their place in an
order. There are three different sections
within adjectives of number; they are
9. Definite Numeral Adjective - Those which
clearly denote an exact number of nouns or
the order of the noun.
Examples:
One, Two, Twenty, Thirty-Three etc. also
known as Cardinals.
First, Second, Third, Seventh etc. also
known as Ordinals.
10. Indefinite Numeral Adjective - Those
adjectives that do not give an exact numerical
amount but just give a general idea of the
amount.
Examples:
Some, Many, Few, Any, Several, All etc.
There were many people present at the
meeting.
11. Distributive Numeral Adjective -Those
adjectives that are used to refer to individual
nouns within the whole amount.
Examples:
Either, Neither, Each, Another, Other etc.
Taxes have to be paid by every employed
citizen.
15. Examples:
Where did he say he was going?
What assignment did I miss out
on?
Which is your favorite author?
Whose pen is this?
16. Comparison of Adjectives
When we want to compare two or more
nouns using adjectives, we use the
comparative and superlative forms of the
adjective to show the comparison between
the nouns.
17. Examples:
Honey is sweet, sugar is sweeter but
victory is the sweetest.
In this sentence, we are comparing the
three nouns using the positive,
comparative and superlative forms of
the word ‘sweet’.
18. Positive Form
These are the simple adjectives that simply
describe the noun without comparing it to
another - big, sweet, clean, etc.
19. Examples:
She has a big black dog.
He is a sweet boy.
The cupboard is clean.
20. Comparative Form
These are used when we are comparing
two nouns and need to show which noun
possesses the adjective or character in a
greater or lesser amount, when compared
with the other. - bigger, sweeter, cleaner,
etc.
21. Examples:
I have a big dog but hers is bigger.
He is sweeter than the other boys.
The cupboard is cleaner than before.
22. Superlative Form
This form is used when three or more
nouns are being compared and we need to
show that one or more of the nouns posses
the adjective or characteristic to the highest
amount possible. We usually add ‘the’
before the superlative form. - biggest,
sweetest, cleanest, etc.
23. Examples:
She has the biggest dog in the colony.
He is the sweetest boy in his class.
The cupboard is the cleanest thing in
the house.
24. Making Comparatives and Superlatives
There are certain rules that must be
followed in the making of the comparatives
and superlatives of the adjectives. Not all
adjectives form their comparatives and
superlatives in the same way and there are
also some irregular adjectives that form
completely different comparative and
superlative forms.
25. Single Syllable Words and Double Syllable
Words ending with -y, -er, -ow, -le -
We use ‘-er’ to make the comparative and ‘-
est’ to make the superlative.
33. Other Words with Two or More Syllables
For other double syllable words that do not
end with -y, -er, -ow, -le, and for adjectives
with more than two syllables we use more
and most to form the comparatives and
superlatives.
35. Special Adjectives
There a few adjectives that can use both ‘-er
and -est’ and ‘more’ and ‘most’ to form
their comparative and superlative forms.
The distinction between these is that ‘-er
and -est’ are used when we are comparing
the noun to another noun and ‘more’ and
‘most’ is used when we are comparing
characteristics within the noun.
36. Examples:
Positive Comparative Superlative Example
Clever
Cleverer/ More
Clever
Cleverest/Most
Clever
He is cleverer than her.
He is more clever than
studious.
Quiet
Quieter/ More
Quiet
Quietest/ Most
Quiet
This is the most quiet
place.
This is the quietest place.
Brave
Braver/ More
Brave
Bravest/ Most
Brave
She is braver than other
girls.
She was more brave than
afraid.
Sure
Surer/ More
Sure
Surest/ Most
Sure
He was surer of the result
than others.
You’ll be more sure about
the concept after you read
the chapter.
37. Irregular Comparisons
These adjectives do not make their
comparative and superlative forms using
the rules above. Their comparative and
superlative forms are different words
altogether.
38. Examples:
Positive Comparative Superlative
Bad Worse Worst
Good Better Best
Far (place &
time)
Further Furthest
Far (place) Farther Farthest
Old (people) Elder Eldest
Little (amount) Less Least
Late (order) Latter Last
