Good afternoon students.

Before we start our lesson,

let us all feel the presence of the Lord. In the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen. Father of Light and Wisdom. Send us your
Holy Spirit, to guide us in our studies. As we begin
this class, we ask you to bless each one of us, our
classmates, present or absent. Help us to make most
out of this period, and make us respect each person
here, always conscious of the truth, that whatever
we do to everyone, we do to you. This we ask in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit. Amen
Again, good afternoon my dear
students especially my grade 8
students. I am your Teacher in
English, Valen Lyka Q. Asuncion
and our topic for today is all about
adjectives.
So sit back, relax, listen, and
enjoy!
First and foremost, these are
our objectives.
• Define what adjective is.
• Identify and explain the
types of adjectives.
Last time, we tackled about nouns.
Today, we will be discussing about
adjectives. Are you familiar with
adjectives?
An adjective describes or modifies
nouns/s and pronoun/s in a sentence.
It normally indicates quality, size,
shape, duration, feelings, contrnts, and
more about a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives usually provide relevant
information about the nouns/
pronouns they modify/ describe
by answering: What kind? How
many? Which one? How much?
Adjectives enrich your writing by
adding precision and originality to
it.
For example:
• The team has a dangerous batman.
(What kind?)- What kind of batman
the team has?
• I have ten candies in my pocket. (How
many?)- How many candies do you
have in your pocket?
• I love that red car. (Which one?)-
Which one among the cars do you
love?
• I earn more money than he does.
(How much?)- How much do you earn
money than he does?
Adjectives are the most used
parts of speech in sentences.
There are several types of
adjectives according to their
uses.
Types of Adjectives
Descriptive Adjectives are words which
describes nouns and pronouns. These
adjectives provide information and
attribute to the nouns/ pronouns they
modify or describe. Also called qualitative
adjectives.
Ex: I have a fast car. (The word ‘fast’ is
describing an attribute of the car)
I am hungry. (The word ‘hungry’ is
Quantitative Adjectives- provide
information about the quantity of the
nouns/ pronouns. This type belongs to the
question category of ‘how much’ and ‘how
many’.
EX:
I have 20 bucks in my wallet. (How much)
They have three children. (How many)
You should have completed the whole task.
(How much)
Proper Adjectives- adjective form of proper
nouns. When proper nouns modify or
describe other nouns/pronouns, they
become proper adjectives. ‘Proper’ means
‘specific’ rather than ‘formal’ or ‘polite.’
A proper adjective allows us to summarize a
concept in just one word. Instead of
writing/saying ‘a food cooked in Chinese
recipe’ you can write/say ‘Chinese food’.
Proper adjectives are usually capitalized as
proper nouns
Ex:
American cars are very strong.
Chinese people are hard workers.
I love KFC burgers.
Demonstrative Adjectives- directly refer to
something or someone. Demonstrative
adjectives include the words: this, that, these,
those. Demonstrative pronoun works alone
and does not precede a noun, but a
demonstrative adjective always comes before
the word it modifies.
Possesive adjectives indicate possession or
ownership. It suggests the belongingness of
something to someone/something.
Some of the most used possessive adjectives
are my, his, her, our, their, your. 
All these adjectives always come before a
noun. Unlike possessive pronouns, these
words demand a noun after them.
Ex: My car is parked outside.
His cat is very cute.
Her books are interesting.
Interrogative Adjectives ask a question. An
interrogative adjective must be followed by
a noun or a pronoun. The interrogative
adjectives are: which, what, whose. These
words will not be considered as adjectives
if a noun does not follow right after them.
‘Whose’ also belongs to the possessive
adjective type.
Ex: Which phone do you use?
What game do you want to play.
Indefinite Adjectives describe or modifies
a noun unspecifically. They provide
indefinite/unspecific information about the
noun. The common indefinite adjectives
are few, many, much, most, all, any, each,
every, either, nobody, several, some, etc.  
Ex: I gave some candy to her.
I want a few moments alone.
Several writers wrote about the recent
incidents.
Compound Adjectives When compound
nouns/combined words modify other
nouns, they become a compound
adjective. This type of adjective usually
combines more than one word into a single
lexical unit and modifies a noun. They are
often separated by a hyphen or joined
together by a quotation mark.  
Ex: I have a broken- down sofa.
I saw a six-foot-long snake.
As we end our lesson, let us all pray.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Our Father in heaven, hollowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as
it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against us; and lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.
St. Vincent Ferrer, pray for us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
