FAQs on PPT: Adjectives - English Grammar Basic - Class 10

1. What are adjectives?
Ans. Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns or pronouns. They provide additional information about the nouns or pronouns they are used with, such as their size, color, shape, or quality.
2. How do adjectives enhance a sentence?
Ans. Adjectives enhance a sentence by adding detail and giving more information about the noun or pronoun. They help to create vivid and interesting descriptions, making the sentence more engaging and informative.
3. Can adjectives be used to compare things?
Ans. Yes, adjectives can be used to compare things. They can be used in comparative and superlative forms to indicate the degree of comparison between two or more nouns or pronouns. For example, "bigger," "biggest," "more beautiful," and "most beautiful."
4. What is the difference between attributive and predicative adjectives?
Ans. Attributive adjectives are placed directly before the noun they describe, while predicative adjectives come after a linking verb and describe the subject of the sentence. For example, "The red car" (attributive) vs. "The car is red" (predicative).
5. Can adjectives have different forms?
Ans. Yes, adjectives can have different forms to match the number, gender, and case of the noun or pronoun they modify. In some languages, adjectives change their endings to agree with the noun's characteristics. For example, in English, we add "-s" to form the plural of most adjectives, such as "big" becoming "bigs."
