used to provide more information to a noun by describing or
modifying it. (Adjetivo calificativo in Spanish)
If you find it hard to spot the descriptive adjectives in the
sentence, you can ask the question:
“Which one?” or more appropriately, “What does it look
like?” in reference to a noun.

The slender man…

5. PROPER ADJECTIVES
Proper adjective is a word that modifies nouns and pronouns
and is formed from a proper noun.
A proper noun is the specific name used for any person, place,
or thing.
Proper adjectives typically look like their original proper nouns
but have some sort of alternate ending in order to make them
adjectives.
Proper Adjective Examples:
proper noun: America
I live in America.
proper adjective: American
The Fourth of July is an American holiday.

6. QUALITATIVE AND
QUANTITATIVE ADJECTIVES
• Qualitative Adjectives are those Adjectives which
can describe quality of living beings or non-living
things. Qualitative Adjectives answer the
question, what kind? They are gradable which
means they can form degrees. Examples: Boring,
Interesting, scary, funny, dark, fair, silky, long,
neutral…

are mostly abstract and perceived through our
senses. There are many Quantitative Adjectives.
Examples: Some, few, little, most, all, no, enough,
any, whole, sufficient, none.

7. NUMERAL ADJECTIVES
Numeral Adjectives are those adjectives which are used
to denote the number of nouns or the order in which
they stand. They are also commonly called Adjectives of
Number.
Examples: One, two, five, ten, first, second, third, tenth,
twelfth, last, all, some, few, each, most, many, no,
several…
3 types:
Definite Numeral Adjective: ordinal and cardinal numbers
Indefinite Numeral Adjective: Few, all, no, several, some,
many, most.
Distributive Numeral Adjective: Each, every, either,
neither.

8. DEMONSTRATIVE
ADJECTIVES
They help indicate a noun and are within close
proximity of that noun in a sentence. They are
especially helpful when you want to make it
clear which noun (which thing) you would like to
talk about. (Indexical meaning)

9. INTERROGATIVE AND
EXCLAMATORY ADJECTIVES
Interrogative adjective is used to question.
Words such as ‘what’ ‘whose’ ‘which’ are
