An adjective is a word you use to describe the qualities of a person, place, or thing. They can also describe the quantity of nouns.

WHEN DO YOU USE IT?
We use it to tell the reader how much or how many of something you’re talking about, which thing you want passed to you, or which kind of something you want.

For example:  Please use three white flowers in the arrangement.

TYPES OF ADJECTIVES

  • Descriptive adjective: these adjectives provide information and attribute to the nouns/pronouns they modify or describe.
ex: I have a fast car. 

  • Quantitative adjective: provides information about the quantity of the nouns/pronouns, asking the question  ‘how much’ and ‘how many’.
ex: I have 20 bucks in my wallet. (How much)

  • Proper adjectives:  When proper nouns modify or describe other nouns/pronouns, they become proper adjectives. ‘Proper’ means ‘specific’
ex: I love KFC burgers.

  •  Possessive adjective: indicates possession or ownership. It suggests the belongingness of something to someone/something.
ex: Our job is almost done.

  • Interrogative adjective: asks a question. An interrogative adjective must be followed by a noun or a pronoun. The interrogative adjectives are: which, what, whose.
ex:What game do you want to play?

  • Demonstrative adjective: directly refers to something or someone. Demonstrative adjectives include the words: this, that, these, those.
ex: That building is so gorgeously decorated. 

Indefinite adjective:  They provide indefinite/unspecific information about the noun. The common indefinite adjectives are few, many, much, most, all, any, each, every.

ex: I don’t have any money.

A pronoun is a word or phrase that is used as a substitution for a noun or noun phrase, is like a noun but not too specific, pronouns are short words such as he, she, you, me, I, it, they, etc, In the same way with the pronouns we can replace a certain adverbs, adjectives 

when do we use it?

As we said that are usually used to replace nouns, Almost anytime you refer to a person, animal, place or thing, Without pronouns, we’d constantly have to repeat nouns, and that would make our speech repetitive, Just Imagine telling a story about your friend and only being able to say her name to refer her. Which means no “she”, “my friend” and other pronouns that make our speech be easy to understand 

Examples

> We were playing poker with friends.
-> We are going on vacation.
-> She loves watching movies, especially if they are comedies.

Types of pronouns

  • Indefinite pronouns – referring to one or more unspecified objects (Whoever, Other, Something, Nobody)

  • Personal pronouns – associated with a certain person, thing, or group ( they, he, we, you)

  • Reflexive pronouns – those preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun, or noun to which they refer, and ending in –self or –selves. ( yourself, themselves, herself)

  • Demonstrative pronouns – used to point to something specific within a sentence (this, that, these, those)

  • Possessive pronouns –  designating possession or ownership. (Mine, yours ours)

  • Interrogative pronouns –Those which introduce a question (who, whom, whose, what, which)
