DESCRIBE THE KINDS OF ADJECTIVES WITH EXAMPLES.
Answers
1. Descriptive
Examples:
“The flowers have a smell” is just stating a fact, and it has no adjectives to describe what the flowers or their smell are like.
“The beautiful flowers have a nice smell” gives us a lot more information, with two descriptive adjectives.
You can say “The cat is hungry,” or “The hungry cat.” In both cases, the word hungry is an adjective describing the cat.
2. Quantitative
Examples:
“How many children do you have?” “I only have one daughter.”
“Do you plan on having more kids?” “Oh yes, I want many children!”
“I can’t believe I ate that whole cake!”
3. Demonstrative
Examples:
“Which bicycle is yours?” “This bicycle is mine, and that one used to be mine until I sold it.”
4. Possessive
Examples:
“Whose dog is that?” “He’s mine. That’s my dog.”
5. Interrogative
Examples:
“Which song will you play on your wedding day?”
“What pet do you want to get?”
“Whose child is this?”
6. Distributive
Examples:
“Every rose has its thorn.”
“Which of these two songs do you like?” “I don’t like either song.”
7. Articles
Examples:
“The elephants left huge footprints in the sand.”
“An elephant can weigh over 6,000 pounds!”
