Hello, so today we continued with grammar"s presentatiuons. people that presented that day were Fatini, Iffah, Erna and Azira. The first group pof the day which was Fatini's group presented about adjectives.
Adjectives are the words that describe or modify another person or thing in a sentence.
- To describe the quality of peoples, things, places and so on. (poor, rich, full, empty, injured)
- To describe or gives more information about noun/ pronoun. (fresh fruit, stale fish,green vegetable)
- To point our things or people. (Those groundnut are crunchy.) (This cake is scrumptious.)
Nouns can be used as adjectives. These nouns are in singular form.
An orange cake.
A duck egg.
A garden party.
An adjectives can be formed using '-ing' from of a word (present participal)
Appetising meal.
Cooking demonstration.
An adjective can be formed using the '-ed' from of the word (past participle).
Fried fish.
Preserve fruit.
Nationalities can be used as nouns.
English pancake.
French toast.
An adjective can be used to compare two people or things. Such
comparative adjectives are usually formed by adding '-er' to the
adjective.
The knife is sharper than that one.
Superlative adjectives are used to compare three or more people or
things. These adjective are usually formed by adding '-est' to an
adjective and using the article 'the' in front of it.
- Buy food from the cleanest stall.
- Choose the biggest phone.
The comparative or superlatives adjective end in '-y' ,change to '-i' before adding '-er' or '-est'.
- Adnan is hungriest than Ali.
- This is the dirtiest food stall I've ever seen.
Some comparative and superlative adjective are formed by using the base form of the adjective with the expressions ‘more...than’ or ‘the most ...’.
For Example:
1) .....more
nutritious than .....
2) .....more
nourishing than ....
3) .....more intoxicating
....
