ROLE :

ADJECTIVE

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. It describes a person, animal or object. An adjective may come before or may follow the noun or the pronoun which it modifies

Ex: This movie is good. This is a good movie.

COMPARATIVE

There are three degrees of comparative for the adjectives (same for the adverbs).

Adjectives of one syllable form their comparative by adding “er” + than and for the superlative the + “est” to the positive form.

*Positive*	*Comparative*	*superlative*
big	bigger than	the biggest
old	older than	the oldest

Adjectives of two syllables follow one of these rules:

Those ending in ful or re usually use more and the most.

Ex: careful, more careful than, the most careful

Adjectives ending in er, y, or ly usually add er, or est.

Ex: pretty, prettier, the prettiest

Adjectives of three or more syllables , use: more than or the most

Ex: frightening, more frightening, the most frightening

IRREGULAR COMPARISONS:

POSITIVE	COMPARATIVE	SUPERLATIVE
Good	Better than	the best
Bad	worse than	the worst
Little	less	the least
Many	more than	the most
Much	more than	the most
Far	farther than	farther than
Far	further than	the furthest

ADVERB

Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs. A word is an adverb if it answers the question: How?, When?, or Where?

There are adverbs of : manner, degree, frequency, time, place, certainty.

Note: Most adverbs of manner and some adverbs of degree are made by adding “ly” to the corresponding adjectives.

Ex: slow, slowly; quick, quickly; sad, sadly.

Exceptions:

The adverb of “good” is “well”.

Ex: She is a good singer. She sings well.

These can be used as adjectives or adverbs: high, low, early, late much, little, near, far, deep, fast, hard, straight, wrong, kindly, enough.

Ex: I think I have just enough time to get to the theater.

Oh no! I didn’t run fast enough.
