Adjectives 6 - Adjectives from Nouns

In the previous quizzes you have learnt that adjectives describe nouns and provide more meaning to a noun. You have also learnt about different types of adjectives. In this quiz, you will learn about adjectives that are formed from nouns.

English is a versatile language and it has many shades. Among the different parts of speech nouns and adjectives are important, and though they are different classes by themselves, it is possible to use nouns and convert them into adjectives.

'Poison' is a noun and 'poisonous' is an adjective derived from the noun. You will notice that the word ‘poisonous’ has been formed by adding ‘ous’ to poison. Here, the original word remains the same and we just add the suffix. Some other words that can be formed by just adding a suffix without changing the original word are 'person-personal,' 'skill-skillful,' 'fool-foolish' and 'power-powerless.'
