Adjective:
An adjective is a word that modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.

Adjectives can be used to describe the qualities of someone or something
independently or in comparison to something else.
Examples:
Adjectives in a sentence:
I like old houses.
The boy is tall and skinny.
Jane is smarter than her brother
Adjective types :
 Appositive adjectives
 Compound adjectives
 Participial adjectives
 Proper adjectives
 Denominal adjectives
 Nominal adjectives
Appositive adjectives
An appositive adjective is an adjective (or series of adjectives) that occurs
after the noun it modifies. It is typically set off by commas or dashes. It works
similarly to an appositive noun.
 Example: Appositive adjective in a sentence Then the

cliffs, ominous and dark, came into view.
Compound adjectives
A compound adjective is an adjective that is formed using two or more
words that express a single idea (e.g., in-depth). When a compound adjective
occurs before the noun it modifies (attributive), the individual words are
typically connected by a hyphen. Frequently, no hyphen is needed when the
compound adjective is placed after the noun (predicative).
Examples: Compound adjectives in a sentence:

A well-known man lives here.
Mark is well known.
Participial adjectives
A participial adjective is an adjective that is identical to the participle form of
a verb (typically ending in “-ING,” “-ed,” or “-en”).
Examples: Participial adjectives in a sentence

The light produced a blinding effect.
Eva was pretty confused.
Proper adjectives
A proper adjective is an adjective formed from a proper noun and used to
indicate origin. Like proper nouns, proper adjectives are always capitalized.
Examples: Proper adjectives in a sentence

There is a popular Indian restaurant nearby.
Liza is not a fan of Shakespearean drama.
Denominal adjectives
A Denominal adjective is an adjective formed from a noun, often with the
addition of a suffix (e.g., “-ish,” “-ly,” “-esque”).
Example: Denominal adjective in a sentence

Amira thinks Han is childish, but at least he’s friendly.
Nominal adjectives
A nominal adjective (also called a substantive adjective) is an adjective
that functions as a noun. Nominal adjectives are typically preceded by the
definite article “the.”
Example: Nominal adjectives in a sentence:

The candidate appealed to both the rich and the poor.
It’s important to take care of the elderly.
Adverb:
An adverb is a word that can modify or describe a verb, adjective, another
adverb, or entire sentence. Adverbs can be used to show manner (how
something happens), degree (to what extent), place (where), and time (when)
Examples: Adverbs in a sentence Ali walked quickly.

Charlie never answers her phone.
It is an incredibly exciting film.#
Actually, I’m not sure
….
…………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………
Adverbs are usually formed by adding -ly to the end of an adjective (e.g.,
“quick” becomes “quickly”), although there are also other adverbs that don’t
have this ending. There are also adverbial phrases, series of words that play
the grammatical role of adverbs.
Types of adverb
 Conjunctive adverbs
 Focusing adverbs
 Interrogative adverbs
 Relative adverbs
Conjunctive adverbs:
Conjunctive adverbs (also called linking adverbs) connect two
independent clauses by turning the second clause into an
adverbial modifier of the first. They can be used as transition words to
introduce consequence, condition, comparison, contrast, and clarification.
Examples: Conjunctive adverbs in a sentence

The wedding is scheduled for tomorrow.
However, we no longer have a caterer.
Kelly’s funding application was denied; therefore, she can not continue her research.
Focusing adverbs
Focusing adverbs are used to emphasize a particular part of a sentence.
They’re typically positioned next to the word they’re drawing attention to.
Some common focusing adverbs include: “only,” “just,” “especially,” “even,”
“either,” and “neither.”
Examples: Focusing adverbs in a sentence Natalia loves

reading, especially fiction.
Jen had a great time at the party; she even danced.
Interrogative adverbs:
The interrogative adverbs “when,” “where,” “why,” and “how” are used to
introduce a question.
Examples: Interrogative adverbs in a sentence

When do you want to go shopping?
Where did you get that doughnut?
Relative adverbs:
The relative adverbs “where,” “when,” and “why” are used to introduce
dependent or relative clauses (i.e., clauses that contain a subject and verb but
do not express a complete thought).
Examples: Relative adverbs in a sentence

This is the city where the soldiers were stationed.
That was the moment when I first noticed him.
