Today our topic is kinds of
adjectives.
1. Adjectives of Quality: An adjective of quality shows us the
kind or quality of a person or thing.
Delhi is a big city.
Neha is a beautiful girl.
Bajrang is a strong boy.
The old car was sold.
All the underlined adjectives are
adjectives of quality.
2. Adjective of quantity: An adjective of quantity tells how much
a thing is meant..
She had no knowledge
about this incident.
Show some evidence that
you are innocent.
He hadn’t any idea.
A lot of risk is involved in the whole rescue operation.
All the underlined adjectives above are
adjectives of quantity.
3. Adjective of number or numeral Adjectives. These adjectives show how many
persons or things are meant.
A hand has five fingers
A dog has four legs.
There are many stars in
the sky.
He is the first boy of
his class.
There are twenty baskets
in the cart.
Find out the next step.
Most kids like watching cartoons.
All the underlined adjectives above are
adjectives of numbers.
· Some adjectives show definite numbers
such as five, four and twenty from the above examples. Since five or four is
cardinal number, They are called , “Definite Cardinal Numeral adjectives.”
· Some adjectives show number but they are
not definite, such as many and most from the above examples. They are called,
“Indefinite Numeral adjectives.”
· Some adjectives show the number of a
person or thing in an order, such as first and next from the above examples.
Since first or next are ordinal in nature, They are called “Ordinal Definite
Numeral Adjectives.”
4. Demonstrative Adjectives: Demonstrating means
pointing out which person or thing is beng talked about. It involves somekinds
of body gesture like pointing with finger or eye movements or something like
that.
That tower is of Airtel.
This girl is a good singer.
These mangoes are of my friend’s garden.
Those travelers are from Viena.
· Please Note that there are only two
demonstrative adjectives which are this and that and their plural are these and
those respectively. This and That are only adjectives in the entire English
language which can be transfoemed into plural.
5. Interrogative adjective: An interrogative
adjective is is a question word like ‘what’, ‘which’ etc, functioning as an
adjective. These adjectives always form a question.
What sort of help you ask for?
Which method did you adopt to solve this problem?
The underlined words above are examples of
Interrogative adjectives.
These are Interrogative adjectives.
· Please Note that same adjective may
classed as of quantity or numbers depending whether the noun that is countable
or uncountable.
For instance, If we say, “Some mangoes”
, Here Some is adjective of quantity because mango is a countable noun. Now if
we say some milk, here some is an adjective of quantity because milk is an
uncountable noun.

Emphasizing Adjectives
I have seen him lifting 200
kilogram with my own eyes.
Please mind your own
business.
I am my own
master.
Please note the use of “own”
in all the above sentences, and think if there were no own, what differences
there might have been in the expressional ground.
Now look these sentences.
I myself had posted
the letter. Don’t know why it didn’t reach destination.
He himself
caused his defeat by batting first in the bowling pitch even after winning the
toss.
She herself
told her father that she loved Ishan and wanted to marry him.
Examine the underlined
words, myself, himself and herself. and think if they were not there, what differences there might have been in the
expressional ground.
The difference is when these
words are absent; the expressions are normal, general, common etc. But when
they are there, the expression is emphasized. Therefore, they are Emphasized Adjectives.
Now look at the following
sentences and the underlined words..
What an idea sir Ji!
What a shot!
What a lie!
In all the sentences above, WHAT
is representing an exclamation, thus it’s exclamatory
adjective in all these three examples given above.
