3. Adjectives and Types of Adjectives
(Descriptive Adjectives, Proper
Adjectives and limiting Adjectives.)
4. Adjective
•An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or
a pronoun. In general, adjectives usually give us
more information about a noun or pronoun by
describing it or providing more information
about it.
5. Adjective that usually comes before a
noun.
John lives in a new house.
She tells an exciting story.
I met a handsome man.
A pair of yellow socks.
A pair of Japanese slippers.
That was a clever idea.
6. Adjective that comes after the verb
The sky became dark.
His story seemed interesting.
Mrs. Lee looks very tired today.
7. Adjectives can also modify pronouns. Look
at these examples.
They were empty.
I thought it seemed strange.
Those are not expensive.
9. Descriptive Adjectives
•Descriptive adjectives are adjectives that
describe the characteristics, traits, or qualities
of a noun or pronoun. Most adjectives are
descriptive adjectives. Words such as purple,
friendly, and attractive are examples of
descriptive adjectives.
10. Examples :
A lot of interesting people visit this park.
She told a scary story.
The leaves turned orange and red.
I bought a new and expensive car.
Mary is a hard-working person.
11. Limiting adjective
•Limiting adjectives are adjectives that restrict a noun or
pronoun rather than describe any of its characteristics or
qualities. Limiting adjectives are adjectives used to describe
the kind, number, or possession of noun or a pronoun. As
the name indicates, these adjectives are used while defining
or limiting a noun or pronoun. Limiting adjectives include
words such as these, your, that, those, and some.
12. Examples:
I bought some eggs at the store.
She found three coins under the couch.
Take a look at that house over there.
These apples are bought by me.
13. Proper adjectives
•Proper adjectives are typically formed from proper nouns.
Proper nouns name a specific person, place, or thing (such
as Jefferson or America). Ordinarily, adjectives are not
capitalized unless they appear at the beginning of a
sentence. However, proper adjectives are a bit different,
because they are always capitalized regardless of where
they appear in a sentence.
14. Examples
•He was reading a Russian newspaper.
•I think Japanese food is tasty.
•We studied the history of Victorian England in school
today.
•He never goes anywhere without Sarah.
15. Robin is an Indian player.
I love Chinese food
Alex is an Australian player.
