    Topic- Adjectives and kinds

    Adjective of Number: Those adjectives which clearly denote an exact number of nouns or
    the order of the nouns

    Adjective of Quality: it is used to describe the nature of a noun by answering the question
    ‘what kind’.

    Adjective of Quantity: shows how much of a thing we are referring to. They do not provide
    exact number, rather they tell us the amount of the noun in whole terms.

     We use much with uncountables and Many with countables- much work, many children.
     We use little with quantity and few with number.
     Little means almost none; a little means some.
     Few means almost none; a few means some.

    Possessive Adjectives:
    Any word that is used to describe the ownership or possession of something
    by someone can be called a possessive adjective.
    The possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and whose.
    A possessive adjective sits before a noun (or a pronoun) to show who or what owns it. For
    example:
     Where is Jane? I have her hat.
    (Here, the possessive adjective "her" sits before the noun "hat" to tell us that it belongs to
    Jane.)

    The boys have left their toys in the garden.

    (The possessive adjective "their" sits before the noun "toys" to tell us that they belong to
    the boys.) Demonstrative Adjective

    Demonstrative adjectives:

    A demonstrative adjective is an adjective used to specifically describe the position


    of something or someone in space or time. The most commonly used demonstrative adjectives:
    this, that, these, and those.
