Adjectives 3 - Types of Adjectives
In the previous two quizzes we learnt that an adjective is a part of speech and plays an important role in English. We learnt about simple adjectives and how they can be used to describe things, places, persons or even ideas. Just as adjectives are able to describe and add meaning to nouns they can also be used to modify pronouns.
An example of an adjective that modifies a pronoun is the following:
"She was asked to take care of HER books."
Here, HER is the possessive case of SHE and it is used as an adjective. Adjectives are also classified into different types. Possessive Adjectives signify ownership or possession:
1.
"Did you see ANY person come on this road?" "No, I saw NO one come here." - Which type of adjectives are the words in capitals?
An adjective that modifies the pronoun.
Indefinite Adjective.
Demonstrative Adjective.
Possessive Adjective.
In these sentences ANY and NO are indefinite adjectives
2.
"He was asked to spot the car that crashed and he identified the RED one." - Which type of adjective is the word in capitals?

3.
"Dog collars will be given to THOSE dogs that are trained." - Which type of adjective is the word in capitals?
