$\Large\bf\underline{\color{turquoise}{◈~Adjectives~◈}}$

$\bf\color{turquoise}{Adjectives}$ are words that describe the $\bf\underline{quality}$ of nouns ( which are people, places, things, or ideas) or words that stand in for (or rename) nouns: pronouns (for example, "he" is the pronoun that renames "Mark"). Adjectives modify (or make the qualities clear of) other words and tell us more about them.


$\bf\underline{Examples~of~adjectives~modifying~nouns}$ (adjectives are underlined, nouns are in green):

I have a very $\bf\color{turquoise}{nice}$ boss.

William is a $\bf\color{turquoise}{wonderful}$ friend.

My mother has cooked a $\bf\color{turquoise}{tasty}$ dinner for us.


$\bf\underline{Examples~of~adjectives~modifying~pronouns~}$(adjectives are underlined, pronouns are in green):

He was $\bf\color{turquoise}{hilarious}$.

She is $\bf\color{turquoise}{beautiful}$.

Adjectives also allow us to $\bf\underline{compare}$ the qualities of nouns. There are $\bf\color{turquoise}{three}$ forms of these types of adjectives; $\bf\color{lime}{positive}$, $\bf\color{cornflowerblue}{comparative}$, and $\bf\color{blueviolet}{superlative}$. 

The $\bf\color{lime}{positive}$ form simply states the quality, for example the word "good" in the following sentence:

"The $\bf\color{lime}{good}$ food was worth waiting for."


The $\bf\color{cornflowerblue}{comparative}$ form compares the quality of two things, for example the word "better" in the following sentence:

The grilled chicken tasted (\bf\color{cornflowerblue}{better}\) than the baked chicken.

 The $\bf\color{blueviolet}{superlative}$ form compares the quality of three or more things, for example the word "best" in the following sentence:

This is the $\bf\color{blueviolet}{best}$ chicken that I have ever tasted.
