What is an adjective in English language

An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It provides additional information about the quality, characteristic, or quantity of the subject.

Examples:

- The red car is parked in the driveway.
- The beautiful flowers are blooming in the garden.
- The sky is cloudy today.

Functions of Adjectives:

- Descriptive Adjectives: Describe the qualities or characteristics of nouns or pronouns (e.g., big, small, tall, short).
- Demonstrative Adjectives: Point out specific nouns or pronouns (e.g., this, that, these, those).
- Possessive Adjectives: Show ownership or possession of nouns or pronouns (e.g., my, your, his, her, their).
- Quantitative Adjectives: Express the quantity or number of nouns or pronouns (e.g., one, two, all, many).
- Interrogative Adjectives: Ask questions about nouns or pronouns (e.g., which, what, whose).

Types of Adjectives:

- Attributive Adjectives: Stand before the noun they modify (e.g., The red car).
- Predicative Adjectives: Come after a linking verb and describe the subject (e.g., The car is red).
- Comparative Adjectives: Compare two or more nouns or pronouns (e.g., The red car is faster than the blue car).
- Superlative Adjectives: Compare a noun or pronoun to all others in a group (e.g., The red car is the fastest in the race).
