Adjectives

An adjective is a word that is used to add something to the meaning of a noun.
(e.g.) Intelligent boy
Here boy is a noun and intelligent is the word used to describe the noun (boy) so it is an adjective.

Kinds of adjective:
Adjectives of quality:       (e.g.) Brave king, beautiful flower, hot day, tall building
Adjectives of quantity:    (e.g.) much money, little food, whole cake, enough bread
Adjectives of number:     (e.g.) many women, seven rupees, some boys, enough bread
Distributive adjectives:   (e.g.) every word, each girl, neither boy, either pen
Demonstrative adjectives:  (e.g.) this pen, those books, that bike, these apples
Interrogative adjectives:  (e.g.) whose book, what color, which language

Try this:
Underline the adjectives
1. A funny little man
2. A few words
3. many times
4. An empty vessel
5. The wide roads.
