Adjective

ADJECTIVE

ADJECTIVE

An adjective modifies a noun. It describes the quality, state or action that a noun refers to.
 

 

ADJECTIVE RULES:

•      Adjectives can come before nouns: a new house

•      Adjectives can come after verbs such as be, become, seem, look, etc.: that house looks new

•      They can be modified by adverbs: a very expensive house

•      They can be used as complements to a noun: the extras make the house expensive

EXAMPLES:

•      an ugly monkey

•      a beautiful cloud

•      the handsome boy

•      the honest girls

There are four kinds of adjectives: common adjectives, proper adjectives, compound adjectives, and articles.
 

1.      Common adjectives are adjectives most commonly and frequently used, for example: short man, red carpet, sunny day, etc. 

2.      Proper adjectives formed from proper nouns, for example: California vegetables, Mexican food, etc.

3.       Compound adjectives are formed from two or more words, for example: far-off country, teenage person, etc.
And Articles which is a special kind of adjectives that are often used in English, namely a, an, and the.

NOUN

Noun

Definition: A noun is a word used to refer to people, animals, objects, substances, states, events and feelings. Nouns can be a subject or an object of a verb, can be modified by an adjective and can take an article or determiner.

For example:

· Table

· Pencil

· The dog

· A white house

Nouns also denote abstract and intangible concepts.

For example:

· birth

· happiness

· evolution

· technology, etc.

Noun Plurals
We are going to explain some rules that will help you to form the plural forms of the nouns. The general rule is to add "-s" to the noun in singular.

For exaample:

· Book - Books

· House - Houses

· Chair - Chairs

When the singular noun ends in: -sh, -ch, -s, -ss, -x, -o we form their plural form by adding "-es".

For exaample:

· sandwich - sandwiches

· brush - brushes

· bus - buses

· box - boxes

· potato - potatoes

When the singular noun ends in "y", we change the "y" for "i" and then add "-es" to form the plural form. But do not change the "y" for "ies" to form the plural when the singular noun ends in "y" preceded by a vowel.

For exaample:

· nappy - nappies

· day - days

· toy - toys

However, there are many Irregular Nouns which do not form the plural in this way:

For exaample:

· Woman - Women

· Child - Children

· Sheep - Sheep

Nouns may take an " 's " ("apostrophe s") or "Genitive marker" to indicate possession. If the noun already has an -s ending to mark the plural, then the genitive marker appears only as an apostrophe after the plural form.

For example:

· my girlfriend's brother

· John's house

· The Browns' house

· The boys' pens

The genitive marker should not be confused with the " 's " form of contracted verbs, as in John's a good student = John is a good student.

Noun Gender
Many common nouns, like "engineer" or "teacher", can refer to men or women. Once, many English nouns would change form depending on their gender. For example: A man was called an "author" while a woman was called an "authoress".

For example:

· David Garrick was a very prominent eighteenth-century actor.

· Sarah Siddons was at the height of her career as an actress in the 1780s.

· The manager was trying to write a want ad, but he couldn't decide whether he was advertising for a "waiter" or a "waitress"

Types of Nouns 

· Proper nouns are the names of specific things, people, or places, such as Jhon, France. They usually begin with a capital letter.

· Common nouns are general names such as person, mansion, and book. They can be either concrete or abstract.

· Concrete nouns refer to things which you can sense such as clock and telephone.

· Abstract nouns refer to ideas or qualities such as liberty and truth.

· Countable nouns refer to things which can be counted (can be singular or plural)

· Uncountable nouns refer to some groups of countable nouns, substances, feelings and types of activity (can only be singular)

Adverb

ADVERB

Definition Adverb 

Most adverbs in English are formed by adding -ly to an Adjective. An adverb is a word that modifies the meaning of a Verb; an Adjective; another adverb;  a Noun or Noun Phrase; Determiner; a Numeral; a Pronoun; or a Prepositional Phrase and can sometimes be used as a Complement of a Preposition.

ADVERB OF MANNER

Adverbs of manner modify a verb to describe the way the action is done.
Example: She did the work carefully.
('Carefully' modifies the verb to describe the way the work was done, as opposed to quickly, carelessly, etc..)

ADVERB OF PLACE or LOCATION
Adverbs of place show where the action is done.
Example: They live locally.

ADVERB OF TIME

Adverbs of time show when an action is done, or the duration or frequency.
Example:

a.       He did it yesterday. (When)

b.      They are permanently busy. (Duration)

c.       She never does it. (Frequency)

ADVERB OF DEGREE

Adverbs of degree increase or decrease the effect of the verb.
Example: I completely agree with you. (This increases the effect of the verb, whereas 'partially' would decrease it.)

ADVERBS MODIFYING ADJECTIVES

An adjective can be modified by an adverb, which precedes the adjective, except 'enough' which comes after.
Example:

a.       That's really good.

b.      It was a terribly difficult time for all of us.

c.       It wasn't good enough. ('Enough' comes after the adjective.)

ADVERBS MODIFYING ADVERBS

An adverb can modify another. As with adjectives, the adverb precedes the one it is modifying with 'enough' being the exception again.
Example:

a.       She did it really well.

b.      He didn't come last night, funnily enough.

ADVERBS MODIFYING NOUNS

Adverbs can modify nouns to indicate time or place.
Example:

a.       The concert tomorrow

b.      The room upstairs

ADVERBS MODIFYING NOUN PHRASES
Some adverbs of degree can modify noun phrases.
Example:

a.                  We had quite a good time.

b.                  They're such good friends.

c.                   Quite; rather; such; what (What a day!) can be used in this way.

ADVERBS MODIFYING DETERMINERS, NUMERALS & PRONOUNS

Adverbs such as almost; nearly; hardly; about, etc., can be used:
Example: Almost everybody came in the end.
