Exsa"
“The beautiful flowers have a nice smell”. This sentence gives us a lot of information. In this sentence, you can see there are two descriptive adjectives.
“The cat is hungry,” or “The hungry cat.” In both cases, the word hungry is an adjective describing the cat.
Quantitative
It describes the quantity of something. When we represent a number or quantity of something then we use quantitative adjectives.
For example
“How many children do you have?” “I only have one daughter.” In this sentence, “How many” is the quantitative adjective.
“Do you plan on having more kids?” “Oh yes, I want many children!”. In this sentence more and many are the quantitative adjectives.
“I can’t believe I ate that whole cake!”. In this sentence whole is a qualitative adjective.
Demonstrative
It describes “which” noun or pronoun you are referring to. This adjective includes words such as:
This — Refer to a singular noun close to you.
That — Refer to a singular noun far from you.
These — Refer to a plural noun close to you.
Those — Refer to a plural noun far from you.
For example
“Which bicycle is yours?” “This bicycle is mine, and that one used to be mine until I sold it.”
Possessive
These type of adjective show possession. It indicates to whom a thing belongs. Some of the common possessive adjectives includes:
My — Belonging to me
His — Belonging to him
Her — Belonging to her
Their — Belonging to them
Your — Belonging to you
Our — Belonging to us
All these adjectives, except the word his, can only be used before a noun. You cannot say “That’s my,” you have to say “That’s my pen.” When you want to leave off the noun or pronoun being modified, use these possessive adjectives instead:
Mine, His, Hers, Theirs, Yours, and Ours
For example, If you say “That’s my” it will be incorrect, but if you will say, “That’s mine” this will be perfectly fine.
Interrogative
When you want to ask a question then you have to use Interrogative adjectives. Most importantly, a noun or a pronoun always follows them. Some of the examples of the interrogative adjective are:
Which – It is used when you have to make a choice between two things.
What – It is used to make a choice in general.
Whose – Here you can indicate that whose thing is that.
For example
“Which song will you play on your wedding day?”
“What pet do you want to get?”
“Whose child is this?”
Distributive
These adjectives describe specific members out of a group. They single out one or more individual items or people. Some of the common distributive adjectives include:
Each — Every single one of a group (used to speak about group members individually).
Every — Every single one of a group (used to make generalizations).
Either — One between a choice of two.
Neither — Not one or the other between a choice of two.
Any — One or some things out of any number of choices. This is also used when the choice is irrelevant, like: “it doesn’t matter, I’ll take any of them.”
These types of the adjective are always followed by a noun or a pronoun they are modifying.
Some more examples are
“Every flower has their own smell”
“Which of these fruits did you like the most”?
Articles
Articles are used to describe which noun you are referring to. There are three types of article:
A— A singular, general item.
An— A singular, general item. Use this before words that start with a vowel.
The— A singular or plural, specific item.
Some example of the article as an adjective is:
“The elephants left huge footprints in the sand.”
“An elephant can weigh over 6,000 pounds!”

A verb, for example ‘She sings beautifully.’
An adjective, for example, ‘He is really interesting.’
Another adverb, for example ‘She walks very slowly.’
