ADJECTIVES.
a) Definition.
- Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns (people, places, things, or animals) or pronouns. They describe the noun by telling us its size, shape, age, colour, etc. Adjectives usually come before the noun or pronoun, or sometimes they can come after it.
Ex: It's a big bag.
This is a blue table.
That is an old man.

b) Position of Adjectives.
- Adjectives appear in different positions in a sentence. The two positions we often encounter are before a noun and after a linking verb which comes after a noun.
(1) The adjective that comes before a noun is called an attributive adjective.
Adjectives (in bold) that come before a noun.
Examples:
a fresh fish.
a small tree.
a long dress.
a square box.
a beautiful house.
More than one adjective can come before a noun.
Examples:
an ugly old witch.
a funny little clown.
a tall young manager.
a big powerful sound.
2) The adjective that comes after a noun is called a predicative adjective.
Adjectives that come after the BE-verb:
Examples:
He is thin.
We are hungry.
She was tired after work.
They were friendly towards me.
Adjectives that come after other linking verbs:
Examples:
The beef tasted delicious.
She grewbored being alone.
The question sounds silly.
The child remained silent when questioned.
Adjectives that cannot come before the subject noun:
Examples:
The boys are ready to go. (Not: The ready boys are to go.)
The parents were glad about their daughter's success. (Not: The glad parents were …..)
Her mother is seriously ill in hospital.

NOTE:
Many adjectives also end with -y, -ary and -ate, but lots of nouns and adverbs also end with -y, lots of nouns also end with -ary, and lots of nouns and verbs also end with -ate, so be careful with those.
c) Forming Adjectives:
Adjectives derived from verbs are formed by adding –ing or –ed to the verbs.

–ed/–ing: amazed/amazing, annoyed/annoying, damaged/damaging, decayed/decaying, interested/interesting

–ed: the escaped prisoners, improved version, polluted river

d) Comparison of Adjectives
- When we compare two or more nouns, we make use of comparative adjectives and superlative adjectives. We use the following three forms of comparison when we compare two or more nouns.
The absolute form:
We use the absolute degree to describe a noun or to compare two equal things or persons.
Examples:
My uncle is bald.
My uncle is as bald as a cue ball.
His head is big.
His head is as big as my head.
His wife-to-be is very charming.
His ex-wife is not as charming as his wife-to-be.
The comparative form:
When comparing two nouns, we use a comparative form of adjective to describe how one person or thing is when compared to another person or thing. In making such a comparison, we have to use the word than to show that one noun is bigger, longer, taller, etc. than the other one.
Examples:
A hen's egg is bigger than a pigeon's egg.
Our fingers are longer than our toes.
This basketball player is taller than that footballer.
She says her pet hen walks faster than her pet duck.
His head is bigger than my head.
The superlative form:
When comparing three or more nouns, we use a superlative form of adjective. We use the word the when using the superlative adjective to compare.
Examples:
My great grandfather is the oldest one in the family.
She has the prettiest face in the whole school.
He talks the loudest in his circle of friends.
Bozo is the funniest clown in the circus.
His head is the biggest in the family.

More and most:
We can use the words more and most in front of an adjective to form respectively the comparative and superlative. Use the adverbial more with most adjectives that have two or more syllables, and most with all adjectives that have more than two or more syllables. For example, the word big has one syllable, funny has two syllables, and beautiful has three syllables. Regardless of the number of syllables, the adjective itself does not change in form when used with more or most.
Two syllable:
She is more careless with money than her husband is.
Sometimes, she was the most cheerful person in the office.
Three syllables:
The professor is more forgetful than his students are.
That is the most foolish thing he has ever done.
We use the Comparative degree to compare two unequal nou
