English Grammar – What is Adjective?

The adjective is a word used with a noun or a pronoun to describe its type, place, number, or amount. It is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun.

Adjective Example-

Raju is a weak student. Here, weak is an adjective used to describe the quality of the noun.

A weak boy failed in the exam. Here, weak is an adjective used to describe the quality of the noun

On the basis of the above examples, we can say that

–    In a first example, weak is used as a part of the predicate, so it is said to be used “predictively”

–    In a second example, weak is used to describe the attribute of a noun, so it is used “attributively”

Example-

–    Planet Mars has two moons.

–    She likes little sugar in the tea.

Some examples of the quantitative adjective are each, every, either, neither, some, no, enough, all, many, few, certain, several, one ( any cardinal number or ordinal number)
