    Introduction - Pronominal Adjectives

    1) An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies (i.e. describes) a noun (e.g. girl, boy
    etc.) or pronoun (e.g. we, it etc.). Adjectives may come before or after the word they modify.

    ​ ute​ cat. This cat is ​cute​.


    This is a c
    2) There are many kinds of adjectives. Among them there is a category of limiting adjectives.
    They help to define or ‘limit’ a noun or pronoun by telling which one, what kind, or how many.

    This​ sandwich is delicious.

    In the category of limiting adjectives there are pronominal adjectives. Pronominal adjectives
    are pronouns which are used to modify nouns. They would be pronouns if they stood by
    themselves in the place of the noun that they represent.

    This​ book is interesting. (This is a pronominal adjective. It modifies the noun ‘book’.)

    This​ is an interesting book. (This is a pronoun. It represents the noun ‘book’.)

    Pronominal adjectives can be subdivided into the following groups:

    a) demonstrative adjectives ​(this, that, these, those).

    Those ​shoes were old-fashioned. ​These ​shoes are much better.

    b) possessive adjectives ​(my, your, his, her, its, our, their).

    Their​ cat likes to sleep on the floor.

    c) distributive adjectives ​(each, every, either, neither).

    Every​ attempt was met with suspicion.

    e) indefinite adjectives ​(some, any, all, few, several, many, both, little, much, more, most).
