    Definition of Adjective
    A word which is used with a noun or a pronoun to describe it (description may be of its
    type, place, number or amount) is known as an Adjective.
    Now, look at following sentences.

    1.  Ramesh is intelligent.
    2.  An intelligent boy won the quiz.

    1. Descriptive Adjectives or Adjectives of Quality: Among the different kinds of


    adjectives, descriptive adjectives are probably the most common ones. They simply say
    something about the quality or the kind of the noun or pronoun they’re referring to.
    Examples:

    ● Erika is witty
    ● She is tired
    ● Adrian’s reflexes are amazing

    2. Adjectives of Number or Adjectives of Quantity: As the name suggests, this kind of


    adjective answers the questions, “How many?” or “how much?”
    Examples:

    ● Twenty-one students failed the exam.


    ● The plants need more water.

    3. Demonstrative Adjectives: Demonstrative adjectives point out pronouns and nouns,


    and always come before the words they are referring to.
    Examples:

    ● I used to buy this kind of shirts.


    ● When the old man tripped over that wire, he dropped a whole bag of
    groceries.
    4. Possessive Adjectives: Obviously, this kind of adjectives shows ownership or
    possession. Aside frojn that, possessive adjectives always come before the noun.
    Examples:

    ● I can’t answer my seatwork because I don’t have a calculator.


    ● Trisha sold his dog.

    5. Interrogative Adjectives: Interrogative adjectives ask questions and are always


    followed by a noun.
    Examples:

    ● What movie are you watching?


    ● Which plants should be placed over here?
