Q.2. Short Answer Questions:

Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns or pronouns in a sentence. They provide additional information about the noun or pronoun, such as size, shape, color, quantity, or quality.

(ii) List and explain the different types of adjectives.

Different types of adjectives include:

• Descriptive adjectives: describe the qualities of a noun (e.g., red, tall, happy)
• Quantitative adjectives: indicate the quantity of a noun (e.g., few, many, some)
• Demonstrative adjectives: point out specific nouns (e.g., this, that, these, those)
• Interrogative adjectives: ask questions about the noun (e.g., which, what, whose)
• Possessive adjectives: show ownership or possession (e.g., my, your, his, her)
• Distributive adjectives: refer to individual items in a group (e.g., each, every, any)

(iii) What is the difference between comparative and superlative adjectives? Give examples.

Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things, while superlative adjectives compare three or more things. For example, 'taller' is the comparative form of 'tall,' and 'tallest' is the superlative form.

(iv) Explain the difference between the distributive and demonstrative adjectives.

Distributive adjectives refer to individual items in a group (e.g., each, every, any), while demonstrative adjectives point out specific nouns (e.g., this, that, these, those). For example: "Each student received a book" vs. "This book is interesting."
