Adjectives 3 - Types

of Adjectives
In the previous two quizzes we learnt that an adjective is a part of speech and plays an important
role in English. We learnt about simple adjectives and how they can be used to describe things,
places, persons or even ideas. Just as adjectives are able to describe and add meaning to nouns
they can also be used to modify pronouns.

An example of an adjective that modifies a pronoun is the following:

"She was asked to take care of HER books."

classified into different types. Possessive Adjectives signify ownership or possession:
