Adjectives and adverbs (Unit 98-101)Meaning and Use – ADJECTIVES
Adjectives are used to tell us about nouns or pronouns. They give us information about
what someone or something is like.
• Can you pass me the yellow pen please?
• Are you happy?
They are also used after to be, to get, to seem, to become and verbs of senses.
• Please be quiet.
• The pizza smells good.
• I feel happy.
• She seems nice.

Most common adjectives have no particular form. There is nothing about their structure that
shows they are an adjective.
• happy, sad, light, green, quick, busy, large
Some adjectives are made by adding a suffix to a noun or verb.
• Fun – funny
• Week - weekly
• Child – childlike
• Fool – foolish
• Care – careful
• Accept – acceptable

Fact adjectives give us information about age, size, colour, etc.
