Q: 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 n

A) All the adjectives have two different forms: the comparative, and the superlative: comparative superlativesad sadder saddest happy happier happiest unusual more unusual most unusual | B) 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 | C) 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] | D) 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. | E) Most adjectives can be used in two positions: attributive adjectives occur before the noun they describe, while predicative adjectives are used after certain verbs:a black cat [attributive] The cat was black. [predicative]
