Descriptive adjectives can be
classified into different categories such as color, size, sound, taste,
touch, shape, time, personality and age.

Colors as adjectives: Black, Blue, White, Green, Red

Sizes as adjectives: Big, Small, Large, Thin, Thick

Shapes as adjectives: Triangular, Round, Square, Circular

Qualities as adjectives: Good, Bad, Mediocre

Personality traits as adjectives: Happy, Sad, Angry, Depressed

Time as adjective: Yearly, Monthly, Annually

This form of adjective is not part
of the noun phrase followed by the noun it modifies, but it is the
complement of a copulative function, which links it to the noun. For
instance, in the sentence, “The house is big”, the predicative adjective
here is “big”, which is linked to the noun “house”, by the verb “is”.
Most of the descriptive adjectives can be also used as predicative
adjectives. Pronouns can also be used as adjectives, like in the
sentence “He is happy”. Even hyphenated adjectives containing past
participles are used as predicate adjectives, like in the sentence “The
belief is widespread”. However, there are also few adjectives which are
only used predicatively. They are words such as “Afloat”, “Afraid”,
“Alive”, “Alone”, “Asleep” and “Aglow”.

Titles such as Mr, Mrs, Auntie,
Uncle, Dr and Lord are classified as adjectives, if they are attached in
front of a name. For instance, in the sentence “Did you visit Uncle
Neil on your way back home?” Herein the word “Uncle” is an adjective

This form of adjective is used in a
sentence before a noun to indicate possession. For instance, in the
sentence, “ Do not touch my diary. It is personal.”, the word “my”
inserted just in front of the noun “diary” is the adjective. Few other
examples of possessive adjectives are “your”, “his”, “her”, “our”,
“their”, etc. [/size]

[size=9]This form of adjective is used to
demonstrate or indicate certain things. For instance, in the sentence,
“Parents of only those students, who have not managed to pass in all
subjects, will have to come for tomorrow’s parents-teachers meeting.”
The word “those” indicates a particular lot of students who have failed
in their test. Placed before the noun “students”, this is a form of
demonstrative adjective. Other such adjectives are “that”, “these”,
“this”, etc.

Indefinite Adjective

While demonstrative adjectives point
out specific things, indefinite adjectives do not indicate anything
specific. Indefinite adjectives are formed from indefinite pronouns and
the most common ones among them are “any”, “many”, few”, “several”, etc.
In the sentence, “Several soldiers died in the Pacific War.”, the word
“several” placed just before the noun “soldiers” is an adjective, which
does not indicate the specific number of soldiers, who died in the war.
