FAQs on Flashcards: Adjectives Flashcard - English Grammar Class 3

1. What are adjectives and how are they used in sentences?
Ans.Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. They provide additional information about a noun, such as its color, size, shape, or quantity. For example, in the phrase "the red apple," "red" is the adjective describing the noun "apple."
2. Can adjectives be used in comparative and superlative forms?
Ans.Yes, adjectives can be modified to show comparison. The comparative form is used to compare two things, often ending in "-er" (e.g., "taller"), while the superlative form is used to compare three or more items, usually ending in "-est" (e.g., "tallest"). For example, "John is taller than Mike" (comparative) and "John is the tallest in the class" (superlative).
3. How do adjectives agree with nouns in terms of gender and number?
Ans.In languages with grammatical gender, adjectives must agree with the noun they modify in both gender and number. For example, in Spanish, "niño" (boy) takes the adjective "alto" (tall) as "el niño alto," while "niña" (girl) takes "alta" as "la niña alta." In English, adjectives do not change form based on gender or number.
4. What is the difference between descriptive and limiting adjectives?
Ans.Descriptive adjectives provide information about a noun's qualities, such as color or size (e.g., "blue car," "large house"). Limiting adjectives, on the other hand, restrict or specify the noun in some way, such as quantity or definiteness (e.g., "three apples," "the book").
5. Are there any rules for the order of adjectives in a sentence?
Ans.Yes, there are general rules for the order of adjectives in English when multiple adjectives are used. The typical order is: quantity, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose (e.g., "two lovely big old round red Italian wooden chairs"). This order helps make sentences more coherent and understandable.
