On adjectives

Adjectives are easy. They are defined as words that modify a noun or a pronoun. Adjectives describe. For example, in the sentence "It's a beautiful day," beautiful modifies day (noun).

There are two types of adjectives, and you can remember them by the acronym A.D. (first syllable of "adjective").



There are two types of articles, definite (the) and indefinite (a, an).

Determiners makes specific sense of a noun, for example, seven apples, these rambutans, that monkey.

Quiz of the day. Identify "that" in the following instances:

(1) That rambutan is very hairy!
(2) That is a hairy rambutan!

The one who gets it right will get a paragraph of positive affirmation. :)
