Lesson 35 - Parts of Speech - Adjectives

View lesson on Daily Grammar

Adjectives are not limited in how many can be used with a noun to modify it as in the big black frightening curly bear. These adjectives follow an order pattern when two or more are used together. There is no written rule but just common usage.

     Examples:  
     Correct:the second three days
     Incorrect: three second the days
     Correct: both his friends
     Incorrect: his both friends

Instructions: Because many words can be both pronouns and adjectives depending on how they are used in a sentence, decide if the italicized words are pronouns or adjectives in the following sentences. Remember that pronouns stand alone, but adjectives are used to modify nouns.
