ADJECTIVES
Adjectives- modify nouns and pronouns by telling which one, what kind, how many, or how much.
WHICH ONE: this, that, these, those
EXAMPLE: This poem moves along quickly.
WHAT KIND: square, dirty, fast, regular
EXAMPLE: Fast runners make baseball exciting.
HOW MANY: some, few, both, thousands
EXAMPLE: Thousands of fans cheer in the stands.
HOW MUCH: more, less, enough, as much
EXAMPLE: I had more fun watching the game than I expected.
Predicate adjectives- follow a linking verb and describe the subject.
EXAMPLE: Baseball players are strong.
Be especially careful to use adjectives (not adverbs) after such linking verbs as look, feel, grow, taste, and smell.
EXAMPLE: Exercising feels good.
Proper Adjectives- formed from proper nouns
EXAMPLE: French cooking, Spanish omelet, Edwardian age, Western movie
Demonstrative adjectives: the same as demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) but they are used to
modify a noun instead of standing alone.
EXAMPLE:
Adjective: What are these skates doing in the living room?
Pronoun: What are these doing in the living room?
Adjective: I prefer that brand of frozen yogurt.
Pronoun: I prefer that.
ADVERBS
Adverbs- modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs by telling where, when, how, or to what extent.
WHERE: The children played outside.
WHEN: The author spoke yesterday.
HOW: We walked slowly behind the leader.
TO WHAT EXTENT: He worked very hard.
Adverbs may occur in many places in sentences, both before and after the words they modify.
