Adjective and Articles
An adjective (ADJ) is a word that modifies or qualifies a noun or pronoun. An adjective tells what kind, how many, or which one.
brass trombones [what kind] (N)
seventy-six trombones [how many] (N)
the older one [which one] (PRO)
Adjectives change form by adding -er or -est or are preceded by more or most to form the comparative and superlative.
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
| silly | sillier | silliest |
| powerful | more powerful | most powerful |
Articles are considered to be adjectives. There are two types of articles: definite (the) and indefinite (a, an).
