KINDS OF ADJECTIVE

Assalamu’alaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh…

Welcome back to my blog…

In this article, I am trying to post something in English language. Actually, I have bad English writing, but how could it be better if I never try? So, let me explain about the kinds of adjective on this article.

 

Adjectives have function to describe other words/nouns. Sometime, it becomes a little difficult especially for EFL students that basically did not know the rule of other languages. Now, I am going to share about the kind of adjective and how we arrange them to make the correct noun phrases. I hope this article will help you to get more English knowledge. So, let me show you the list of adjective below:

There are 10 kinds of adjectives:

1.    Quantity:

Example: some, a, many, few, every, etc.

( some people)

2.    Value/opinion

Example: bad. nice, good, beautiful, pretty, handsome etc

(a beautiful woman)

3.    Size

Example: small, big, huge, fat, large, etc

(large place)

4.    Temperature

Example: hot, cold, warm, etc

(hot tea)

5.    Age

Example: young, old, new, adult, teenager, etc

(old friend)

6.    Shape

Example: square, circle, round, triangular, rectangular, etc

(Square book)

7.    Color

Example: pink, blue, red, black, white, etc

(blue jacket)

8.    Origin

Example: Indonesian, Korean, American, Asian and etc

(Korean food)

9.    Material

Example: wooden, metal, plastic, leather, glass, etc

(wooden chairs)

10.    Purpose

Example: cooking, cleaning, etc

*the bolding words are adjectives, and the underlining words are nouns 
Remember, you must use regularly, if there is a quantity put it first, and then value/opinion, size, temperature, age, shape, color, origin, material, until purpose. You can see this example: a comfortable medium warm new circle blue Chinese plastic sitting chair. But in fact it is really rare using all kinds of adjective in a sentence, sometime we just need one or two adjectives. But it does not mean that we do not have to learn about it, we have to know its arrangement to make a noun phrase. For example two broken bottles, a sweet apple, ten cute black cats and etc.

For more examples, see the examples below and try to arrange them into the correct noun phrases or sentences

1)      a–young–beautiful–girl.

2)      wooden–chair–a–comfortable–Indonesian.

3)      William has (trouble–some–difficult) to solve.

4)      I have bought (A–table–wooden–cheap)

5)      a–box–small

correction:

1)        A beautiful young girl

2)        A comfortable Indonesian wooden chair

3)        William has some difficult trouble to solve

4)        I have bought a cheap wooden table

5)        A small box
All right, those are the kinds of adjective I could explain. I hope all of you who have read my blog can understand. I need your correction if you see mistakes. Thanks for visiting May’s blog and do not forget to share, like and comment. See you in the next article….
