Lesson 3 Adjectives

At the end of this lesson, learners are able to:

• identify the order of an adjectives use in the sentence; and
• classify the degree of adjectives use in the sentences.

What is an adjective?
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It may tell something about
number, quality and color. It may describe one or more persons or things. Also, adjectives have
positive, comparative and superlative forms or degrees.
• Positive form or degree indicates no comparison.
Example: Seb is an industrious boy.
• Comparative form or degree compares or describes two nouns or pronouns. It is formed by
adding –er or by using more before and than after the adjective)
Example: Seb is more industrious than his twin brother.
• Superlative form or degree compares or describes more than two nouns or pronouns. It is
formed by adding –est or by adding most before the adjective.
Example: Seb is the most industrious in his class.
• Adjectives ending in -y form their comparative and superlative forms or degrees by changing
y to i and add –er or –est, e.g. pretty - prettier/prettiest.
Study the examples below:

Positive Comparative Superlative

big bigger biggest
Add –er or -est
happy happier happiest
beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
Use more or most
obedient more obedient most obedient
good better best
Change in spelling
bad worse worst
In addition, a noun or pronoun can be described by two or more adjectives.
In this case, adjectives must follow the correct order as follows:

Number Quality Color Noun

two new yellow pencils
a dozen sweet red candies
three thick blue books
The correct order of adjectives are number, quality and color before the nouns being
described.
