Adjectives are words that are used to describe or tell us something about nouns.
They often appear before the noun. For example:
The adjectives “quick” and “brown” appear before the noun “fox” and the adjective
“lazy” appears before the noun “dog”.
When comparing things we use the comparative form for two things and the
superlative form for three or more things. For example, using the adjectives “high”,
“tall” and “beautiful”:
When the comparative adjective has more than two syllables, instead of putting the
–er form at the end of the word, we precede it with the word more.
When the superlative adjective has more than two syllables, instead of putting the
–est form at the end of the word, we precede it with the word most.
Some adjectives use the –ed form (sometimes called past participle adjectives) and
some use the –ing form (sometimes called present participle adjectives). Many of
our students, even at advanced levels, get confused as to whether they should use
the –ed form or the –ing form of the adjective, explaining why our non-native
students sometimes say things such as: “I am boring” and “The film was bored”.
