ADJECTIVES.
Definition.
141. An adjective is
a word joined to a noun or other substantive word or expression, to describe it
or to limit its application.
142. Adjectives are divided
into four classes:—
(1) Descriptive adjectives, which describe by
expressing qualities or attributes of a substantive.
(2) Adjectives of quantity, used to tell how many
things are spoken of, or how much of a thing.
(3) Demonstrative adjectives, pointing out
particular things.
(4) Pronominal adjectives, words primarily
pronouns, but used adjectively sometimes in modifying nouns instead of standing
for them. They include relative and interrogative words. |
