CHAPTER II

CONTENTS

A.Meaning of adjective

When an adjective is describing a noun, we say it is "modifying" it. Adjectives can:

are honest.

Give nationality or origin

Examples

I heard a French song.

This clock is German.

Our house is Victorian.

Tell more about a thing's characteristics

Examples

That is a flashy car.

The knife is sharp.

Tell us about age

Examples

He's a young man.

My coat is old.

Tell us about size and measurement

Examples

John is a tall man.

This film is long.

Tell us about colour

Examples

Paul wore a red shirt.

The sunset was crimson.

Tell us what something is made of

Examples

The table is wooden.

She wore a cotton dress.

Tell us about shape

Examples

I sat at a round table.

The envelope is square.

Express a judgement or a value

Examples

That was a fantastic film.

Grammar is complicated.

When attributes are equal

Comparing equal attributes is simple. To compare the attributes of two things that are equal, we use the
pattern:

as + adjective describing the attribute + as

Examples

Tom is as tall as his brother.

I am as hungry as you are.

Sally is as nice as Jane.

When attributes are not equal

When the two attributes are not equal, there are three constructions with equivalent meanings.

Either use the pattern:

not as + adjective describing the attribute + as

Or use the pattern:

less + adjective describing the attribute + than : This construction is more frequent with some adjectives
than with others.

Or use the pattern:

comparative adjective + than : This construction may require changing the order of the phrase or using
the opposing adjective.

Examples

Mont Blanc is not as high as Mount Everest.

Mont Blanc is less high than Mount Everest.

Mont Blanc is lower than Mount Everest.

Mount Everest is higher than Mont Blanc.

Norway is not as sunny as Thailand.

Norway is less sunny than Thailand.

Thailand is sunnier than Norway.

Norway is cloudier than Thailand.

adjective. The usual order is:
