Adjectives can be used to describe lots of things, from physical size, age, shape, colour, material, to more abstract things like opinion, origin and purpose. We can use adjectives together to give a detailed description of something. Adjectives that express opinions usually come before all others, but it can sometimes depend on what exactly you want to emphasise. For example:  "That's a nice, big, blue bag." (You like the bag.) "That's a nice blue." (You like the colour.) When we group adjectives together there is a general (sometimes flexible) rule for the position of each type of adjective, these are:- Position 1st* 2nd* 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Opinion Size Age Shape Colour Material Origin Purpose Nice Small Old Square Black Plastic British Racing Ugly Big New Circular Blue Cotton American Running You might swap adjectives that express an opinion and an adjective based on fact depending on what you wish to emphasise:- For example: "She had a long, ug

When we compare things, people or even ideas we look at what makes them different from each other. Comparative adjectives are used to show what quality one thing has more or less than the other. They normally come before any other adjectives. !Tip  - It's a good idea to learn opposites (antonyms) when learning adjectives. For example: TALL / SHORT The man on the left is   taller  than the man on the right.   The man on the right is  shorter  than the man on the left.   !Note  - Have you noticed that when we are comparing two things like this we put  than  between the adjective and the thing being compared. FAST / SLOW   A car is   faster  than   a bicycle.   A bicycle is  slower  than  a car. For example: BIG / SMALL   The red bag is   bigger than   the blue bag.   The blue bag is  smaller than  the red bag. FORMING THE COMPARATIVE The way you form the comparative from an adjective depends – on the number of syllables and the spelling of the adjective. Form Rule For example Words o

WHAT IS AN ADJECTIVE?" Simply put adjectives are descriptive words. Adjectives are used to describe or give information about things, ideas and people: nouns  or  pronouns . For Example:- The  grey  dog barked. (The adjective  grey  describes the noun " dog ".) The most common question an adjective might answer is "What kind of ...?" The good news is that in English the form of an adjective does not change, once you have learnt it that's it and it does not matter if the noun being described is male or female, singular or plural, subject or object. Yay! Some adjectives give us factual information about the noun - age, size colour etc (fact adjectives - can't be argued with). Some adjectives show what somebody thinks about something or somebody - nice, horrid, beautiful etc (opinion adjectives - not everyone may agree). There are different types of adjectives in the English language: Numeric: six, one hundred and one etc. Quantitative: more, all, some, ha
