Adjectives are one of the four major word classes, along with nouns, verbs and adverbs. It is a word that describes a noun, giving extra information about it.

Just one alternative about adjective is not right. Mark it.

A Most adjectives can be used in two positions: attributive adjectives occur before the noun they describe, while predicative adjectives are used after certain verbs:

B There are some adjectives that can only be used in one position or the other. For example, these two sentences are grammatically correct:? She was alone that evening. [?alone' = predicative ]? It was a mere scratch. [?mere' = attributive]These sentences, on the other hand, are not correct:? I saw an alone woman. [?alone' cannot be used in the attributive position]? The scratch was mere. [?mere' cannot be used in the predicative position] C Most adjectives are gradable. This means that their meaning can be modified (made stronger, weaker, or otherwise altered) by placing one or more adverbs in front of them. For example: an expensive house - a very expensive house - a fairly expensive house - an extremely expensive house The adverbs very, fairly, and extremely tell where this particular house belongs on the scale of expensiveness. By using them, we can make a significant difference to the meaning of an adjective. Non-gradable adjectives are those with meanings which cannot be modified by adverbs. For example: the western side of the mountain - electronic devices - a nuclear reactor D All the adjectives have two different forms: the comparative, and the superlative:

E The comparative form is used for comparing two people or things: He is taller than me. The superlative is used for comparing one person or thing with every other member of their group: He was the tallest boy in the class.
