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. EXAMPLES: Suddenly the wind shifted. The wind suddenly shifted. The wind shifted suddenly.
