Adjectives

• Adjectives are describing words. They tell us more about the noun.

Example: Her red dress is missing. (Red describes the word "dress", which is the noun.)

Things to keep in mind:

• Adjectives can tell us more about the colour, age, size and temperature of something and what things are made of.

Example: The old man walks slowly.

• We can use adjectives before or after nouns.

Example: The huge dog. OR The dog is huge.

• Degrees of comparison compare nouns.

positive - high

comparative - higher

superlative - highest

• Irregular adjectives:

bad ; worse ; worst

many ; more ; most

little ; less ; least
