TYPES OF ADJECTIVES
(Part 1 – Descriptive and Quantitative)
Words that change or limit the meanings of other words are called modifiers. One kind of modifier

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun by telling what kind, which one, how
many, or how much.
Examples:
What Kind? Which One? How Many? How Much?
black shoes those cars five boxes some water
Filipino coffee this house several books less time
up-to-date outfit third child many students enough money
Seven Types of Adjectives
1. Descriptive – Descriptive adjective is also called qualitative adjective. It is used to describe the
characteristics, traits, or qualities of a noun or pronoun. Most adjectives used in a sentence are
descriptive adjectives.
