What is an Adjective?

In linguistics, an adjective (abbreviated adj.) is a word that modifies a noun or noun phrase or describes its referent. Adjectives describe or modify—that is, they limit or restrict the meaning of—nouns and pronouns. Words like small, blue, and sharp are descriptive, and they are all examples of adjectives. Degree of adjectives sometimes called degree of comparison.

Types of Adjectives

There are four kinds of Adjectives

1. Adjective of Quality
2. Adjective of Quantity
3. Adjective of Number
4. Demonstrative Adjective

Degree of Adjectives

1. Comparative and superlative degree

1. We use the comparative degree to compare two things or two peoples. (she is taller than her sister.)
2. Superlatives are used to compare more than two things or people. (Islamabad is the most beautiful city of Pakistan.)

• When there is a competition between two things, we will use a Comparative degree of adjective.

E.g. She is taller than her sister.

• When there is a competition between more than two things then we will use a superlative degree of adjective.

E.g. New York is the most beautiful city in America.

Formation of a Superlative and Comparative

1. To form a degree of a single syllable adjective we will add ‘-er’ to make comparative and for superlative we can add ‘-est’.

Note: Sometimes this rule also applies to disyllable adjectives.

2. To make a Comparative degree of Adjectives have two or more than two syllables we can add ‘more’ and most for superlative.

Irregular Comparative and Superlatives

There is no specific rules to make degrees for such adjectives.
