Descriptive Adjectives:
What Is An Adjective?
Adjectives - An adjective is a word that describes or defines a quality of a noun or pronoun, it modifies the meaning of the noun or pronoun. I like red apples. The adjective “red” describes the noun “apples”.
Positive, Comparative, Superlative Comparison of Adjectives
Comparison is a variation of the adjective to express different degrees of quality: positive, comparative, and superlative adjectives. This is true of adverbs as well.
The usual comparative form adds –er and –est to the positive form. Follow the rules for adding endings that begin with a vowel in the cases of words that end in silent final e or end in the vowel y.
Positive – brown, true, pretty
Comparative – browner, truer, prettier
Superlative – brownest, truest, prettiest
Adjectives and adverbs that have three or more syllables are prefaced with more/less (comparative), and most/least (superlative).
Positive adjectives that add the ending –ish express the diminutive, or suggest a small amount: brownish. Prefacing positive adjectives with rather or somewhat gives a diminutive effect as well. Preface these words with more/less and most/least for the comparative degree and the superlative degree.
Good is an adjective and well is an Adverb; both positives form their comparative and superlative with better and best (good, better, best; well, better, best).
Some adjectives cannot be compared since they represent an absolute degree: square, infinite.
Definitive Adjectives – Pronomial Adjectives
Pronomial Adjectives are definitive and may represent a noun understood without an article. (An article is an adjective that points to a noun or pronoun, it shows that a noun or pronoun is coming in the sentence: a or an, the.)
Some Pronomial Adjectives can be compared like descriptive adjectives: few, fewer, fewest; little, littler, littlest, much, more, most.
Numeral Adjectives are devinitive and denote number and order definitively: two, three, fourth, fourfold…
There are three classes of numeral adjectives: cardinal, ordinal, and multiplicative.
Cardinal numeral adjectives denote the number of objects – three, one hundred, a thousand Ordinal numeral adjectives denote the position of an object in a series of objects: third, hundredth, thousandth Multiplicative numeral adjectives denote how many times: threefold, hundredfold…
Adjective Phrase
Adjective Phrase - An adjective phrase is a group of words that do not form a clause yet describe the quality of a noun or pronoun.
Adjective Clause
Adjective Clause - An adjective clause is a clause that describes the quality of a noun or pronoun.

Teaching grammar can be quite simple; it is basically a name game with rules and grammar definitions. Writing itself is the best way to learn to write! Good reading is the best way to learn the correct way to use grammar. You can use creative writing prompts to encourage original writing.

We have an excellent free Grammar Definitions Ebook that puts the basics in learning order. It is easy to read which means that in two hours you or your students can have a good understanding of the names we use in English grammar even if you are learning English as a second language (ESL). We also offer the same free Grammar Definitions Ebook repeated in alphabetical order for easy reference which makes it a double-glossary in one booklet that you can print or read from an ereader.
When a student sees sentence construction as simple sentences expanding to become compound sentences and complex sentences, English grammar lessons begin to make logical sense. English grammar lessons are simply exercises in learning the use of a word in a sentence and being able to name and define that use. Words like “personal” as with personal pronouns, and “relative” with relative pronouns still have the same meanings as in other uses. Subject Verb Agreement is similar. Agreement means agreement!
Say it! Write it! Repeat it!
You can offer as many A-Z Adjective Worksheets as needed till your students understand their English grammar lessons, but don’t tarry too long since there is so much that cross-teaches the same rules of English grammar throughout the years. Also, reading good literature can give a good foundation in correct grammar over time since it models the way that we use our words well.

Grammar and writing can be taught quickly and we’ve seen this quick sort of success in many students, especially those at the fourth grade level or higher! To wit, remember that the Harvey Grammar of old was ONE little 120 page book! A tiny book! The principles are simple even if the book and testing companies change the names – head noun? Determiners?

We also recommend that you use these products for English grammar lessons. Phonics Road by Barbara Beers has a DVD set to train the teacher or parent to teach writing, composition and grammar. We love how it teaches correct grammar and composition together! The Writing Road To Reading has excellent technical information for teaching spelling, writing and reading lessons and has an excellent scope and sequence in the appendix. Sound Beginnings by Julia Fogassy is a condensed version of Spalding phonics that we have found most helpful in that it cuts out the academic fluff. Andrew Pudewa’s Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) has professional creative writing ideas and some free online writing courses.
We would also like to recommend the Reading Pen for older students as it voices the word it scans and has a giant spelling dictionary of 600,000 vocabulary words which would enhance any reading comprehension activities especially in the sciences where one understands how to say a word better when he hears it spoken. The definition of vocabulary words is right there with the correct spelling of words and the English parts of speech as well. The best reading comprehension activities teach more vocabulary words!
