Answer 1

$\Huge\color{lime}\boxed{\colorbox{grey}{Adjective}}$

An adjective modifies a noun or pronoun by providing descriptive or specific detail. Unlike advebs, adjective do not have to agree in number or gender with the nouns they describe.

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

Tom bought a used car. (used describes what kind of car Tom bought.)

Sally baked ten pies for the school bake sale. ( ten tells how many pies Sally baked.)

Bob climbed that tree in the backyard. (that specifies which tree Bob climbed.)

★Descriptive Adjectives

A descriptive adjective names a quality of noun or pronoun that it modifies.

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

Brown dog⠀⠀bigger house⠀⠀Fluffy cat

★Proper Adjectives

A proper adjective is derived from a proper noun.

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

French class⠀⠀Spanish food⠀⠀European car

★Limiting Adjectives

A limiting adjective restricts the meaning of the word it modifies

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

that car⠀⠀this room⠀⠀the tree

★Interrogative Adjectives

An interrogative adjective is used to ask a question.

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

Whose book is this?

★Coordinate Adjectives

A coordinate adjective consists of two or more adjectives sepreted by comma instead of by coordinating conjunction.

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

a cold, rainy day

★Compound Adjectives

Compound adjectives consist of two or more words that function as a unit. Depending on its position within the sentence, the compound adjective is punctuated with or without a hyphen. When a compound adjective comes before the noun it modifies, use a hyphen to join the adjectives. When a compound adjective follows the noun it modifies, do not use a hyphen to join the adjectives.

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

She is taking on nineteenth-century literature. (The adjective nineteenth-century precedes the noun literature so a hyphen is used.)

★Determiners as Adjectives

Determiners, such as articles, pronouns, and numbers, can function as adjectives. When a determiner is used as an adjective, it restricts the noun it modifies, like a limiting adjective. Determiners functioning as adjectives tell which one?, How many?, and whose?

$\large{\text{\red{Example:}}}$

Bob's house is only three blocks from that house. (Bob's answers the question: Whose house? Three answer the question: How many blocks? That answers the question: Which house is three blocks from Bob's house?).
