    An article is a word used to modify nouns and refers to or points out nouns. There are two types of articles: indefinite and definite. The indefinite articles "a" and "an" are used before singular countable nouns to refer to nonspecific or general items. The definite article "the" is used to refer to specific or unique items or when the noun is qualified or limited by an adjective phrase. The use of articles depends on certain grammatical rules and conditions related to nouns, adjectives, numbers, and other elements in a sentence.

    Def:Adjectives are descriptive words. They usually answer
    which? what kind of? How many questions. They describe
    the noun is being talked about.
    ex.A new toy Enough meatloaf

    Types of Adjectives
    Attributive :Attributives are the ones that come right
    before the word(s) they modify.
    Ex.The old man asked a question.

    Appositive: Appositives come after the words they modify.


    They are usually in used in pairs.
    ex.The woman, beautiful and smart, knew what she was
    doing.

    Predicate :Predicates come after verb to be or after linking


    verbs. They come at the end of the sentence and they
    modify the subject.
    Types of adjective
    Adjective formation
    DEGREE OF COMPARISON
    POSITIVE DEGREE:An adjective is said to be in
    the positive degree when there is no comparison.
    Ex:Ram is a good boy.

    COMPARATIVE DEGREE:An adjective is said to be


    in the comparitive degree when it is used to
    compare two nouns/pronouns.
    Ex.Ram is better than mohan.

    SUPERLATIVE DEGREE:An adjective is in


    superlative degree when it is used to compare
    more than two nouns/pronouns. We use the
    article 'the' before the superlative degrees.
    Ex:Ram is the best boy of our class.
    USE OF the
    Rules Example
    After(superior,junior,senior,pri Ram is junior to me.(Not
    or,interior,minor)we use to junior than me)
    instead of than in
    comparative degree:
    There is no use of more or He is the unique person of my
    most before village.(Not more unique
    (right,round,unique,absolute, person)
    universal...)
    There is no use o f superlative Soma is the more smart of the
    degree for two. two.(Not most smart)
    Much can not be used Munna is a very intelligent
    before positive adjective boy.(Not much intelligent boy)
    Very can not be used before Rani is much better than
    comparative adjective reena.(Not very better)

    The same form of degree will Ram is best and tallest.


    be used before and after and (Superlative)
    Ram is better and taller.
    (Comparative)
