So, what is an adjective?
Adjective Definition
An adjective is a word that customizes and intensifies a noun or a pronoun. It gives
additional information about what the noun or the pronoun refers to. It is usually comes
right before the noun or the pronoun that it modifies. We can use more than one adjective to
describe a noun or a pronoun and when a noun comes before another noun, it becomes its
adjective.

some other quality of nouns and pronouns.

an adjective here because it describes the noun 'door'.)

proper adjectives. However, they are generally considered as adjectives of quality.

order in which the person or thing stands. These types of adjectives are also known as
numeral adjective.

2. What time would the match begin?
3. Whose car is this?
Difference between interrogative adjectives and interrogative pronouns
We use the words what, which, whose as both interrogative adjectives and interrogative
pronouns. However, in case of interrogative adjectives, nouns or pronouns follow them. In
other words, an interrogative adjective modifies a noun or noun phrase rather than standing
on its own.
Example of interrogative adjective: Whose pen is this?

Example of interrogative pronoun: Whose is this pen?
Demonstrative Adjectives
The word demonstrative suggests 'pointing out'. The adjectives that point out nouns are
called demonstrative adjectives. These show whether the noun they refer to is singular or
plural and whether it is located near or far.
Demonstrative adjectives answer the question, 'which?'
1. This pen is very expensive.
2. Look at that bill board.
3. These mangoes are ripe.
4. These apartments have been built recently.
Difference between demonstrative adjectives and demonstrative pronouns
A demonstrative adjective is always followed by a noun.

For example:
Those children are playing tennis.

That lake is very beautiful.
Copy Link
A demonstrative pronoun is used to refer back to a noun that is not mentioned specifically.
For example:
Would you deliver this parcel?

Does the tie you bought go with that?
Possessive Adjectives
The adjectives that show possession or belonging are called possessive adjectives. My, your,
his, her its, our and their are possessive adjectives used with nouns to show ownership.
1. This bicycle was gifted by my grandfather.
2. The dog is licking its paws.
Difference between possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns
A possessive pronoun is used instead of a noun.

For example: Susan's basket is small. Mine is big.
A possessive adjective is used to describe a noun. It comes before the noun.

For example: My basket is bigger than her basket.
