Lesson 3 Adjectives
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:
