Hello and welcome back to our parts of
speech series
My name is Ganesh and in this lesson
we're going to learn all about
adjectives. In this lesson I will tell
you what is an adjective and what are
the two main types of adjectives and
then we will focus on using adjectives
correctly and how to avoid common
mistakes that students make with them. We
will look at three areas: ed and ing
adjectives, comparatives and superlatives
and the order of adjectives - that is when
you have more than one adjective in a
sentence, which should you put first
second etc. So we'll talk about avoiding
errors in these three areas. Before we
start just remember if you have any
questions at all you can ask me in the
comments section below and I will talk
to you there.
OK so first of all what is an adjective?
Well that's easy - an adjective is a word
that gives information about a noun or
pronoun. In grammar we say that an
adjective modifies a noun or pronoun
modify here means to change the noun or
pronoun by giving more information about
it.
For example take a look at this sentence
There are three small black wooden
chairs in this room. Focus on the noun
chairs and can you tell me which
adjectives modify - that is give more
information - about chairs? The adjectives
are three, small, black and wooden. These
adjectives answer questions like How
many? What size? What color? What material?
etc. Now in this example the adjectives
occur before the noun but they can also
appear after the noun or pronoun like in
this example - The food was hot and
delicious. Here the adjectives hot and
delicious appear after the noun food and
notice that we use the linking verb be -
past tense was - to connect the noun and
the adjectives.
OK now that you know what an adjective
is let's talk about the two types of
adjectives in English
There are two main types of adjectives
in English - these are called determiners
and descriptive adjectives. Or as I like
to say less interesting and more
interesting adjectives. I say that
descriptive adjectives are more
interesting because these are what we
commonly think of as adjectives - words
like beautiful, big, small, tall, short, blue,
red etc. So what are determiners then? Well
determiners are a small group of grammar
words that act as adjectives. Words like
my, our, your, his, her etc. are determiners
When I say - That's my car, for example, the
word my shows that I'm not talking about
any car - I'm talking about one particular
car - my car - so the word my acts as an
adjective by giving information about
the noun car. In the same way the words
this, that, these and those also act as
adjectives. Also the question words what,
which and whose can be determiners. If I
asked - Which team do you think will win
the next match? - the word which asks for
information about team. Team is a noun
so which is an adjective. Quantity words
like numbers and quantity expressions
such as a few, some and many are
determiners as well. And finally articles
that is the words
a, an and the are also considered
adjectives because if I said - A window is
broken - it could be any window but if I
said - The window is broken - we both know
which window I'm talking about so
articles give us information about nouns
and so they're also adjectives. Now all
determiners are adjectives but we will
discuss these in other lessons because
each one of them is a big topic. In this
lesson we're going to focus on the
really interesting adjectives that is
descriptive
adjectives and we will look at how to
avoid common errors with them.
Now in English there are lots and lots
of descriptive adjectives - some of them
are formed from nouns, verbs and even
other adjectives.
Hey there, I hope you enjoyed this lesson. Let me know if you have any questions. Also check out:

Hello
Exactly
Meet tooo
Dear Mr. Genesh. I’m Korean. For a long time, I have been struggling because of my son's grammar. Nowadays I am solving the difficulties through your lectures. You are such an excellent teacher. Thank you so much.
This is the very first time, i have seen orders of adjectives like this. I have read a lot of books but i never found such kind of things. Very very useful video 👍👍 thank you
I do need to take enough cues from this lesson. I am substantially elated because of your palpable vocation to present us and all that. I am truly grateful
Thank You Ganesh,
Especially for making it easy to UNDERSTAND for an OLD JOCK like myself.
I was a terrible student because I thought more about Sports than school.
It was sad for my Mother because she was a Special Needs Teacher in Elementary School.
She made the Decision to have me repeat the Fourth grade mostly because my English studies were so poor.
I played for the Oakland Raiders from 1978 to 1982 then returned to Wichita State University to finish my degree in General Studies.
I have always wanted to Write A Book,
My Sister was an amazing Writer and she always gave me the INSPIRATION to write. She read much of my writing and was very Enthused and Complimentary about it.
But I know NOTHING about how to go about doing it.
ANY SUGGESTIONS.
Thank You
John Parker
Hello John,
Thank you for the comment. Very interesting to hear of your experiences! It's wonderful that you are thinking of writing a book. Now, being an ESL teacher, I cannot pretend to be an expert on the subject of writing books. But, I would strongly recommend that you start by reading an introductory guide; for example, _Writing Fiction for Dummies_ might be a good starting point if you're planning to write fiction. There are plenty of resources for writers available on the internet today. If you do a Google (or even CZcams) search for 'how to write a book', you will find lots of them. You might also find it helpful to join writing groups, either online or in your local area. Networking with fellow aspiring writers is a great way to stay informed and motivated. One thing I would like to suggest is to just write! Many writers have a minimum word count that they force themselves to write every day as a way of getting over writer's block. I've heard that Stephen King recommends new writers to shoot for at least 1,000 words per day. Basically, the idea is that you just put pen to paper and write whatever comes to mind without critiquing any of it. I have a lesson on the process of writing that you might glean some ideas from: czcams.com/video/dT_D68RJ5T8/video.html
Best wishes,
Ganesh
I have been watching your grammar lessons for quite a long time. It has been very useful for my personal growth as well as for teaching students. I still haven't given up my learning habits. I always had difficulty in arranging string of adjectives to describe a noun know matter how hard I try. But after this video, I think I will have to put less effort in arranging them from now onwards. Thanks for being my mentor.
Much respect to you, sir. I watch your classes , make notes, and rewatch the classes again and again to polish my grammar teaching skills. The way you simplify every lesson has inspired me and helped me to teach my students with precision. I hope you can post more English grammar lessons if possible. It’s a humble request. Thank you for your hardwork, sir.

Hello teacher!
I was studing the adjectives order, and I found a diferent order from yours.
Your order
Determiners
Opinion
Size
Shape *
Age *
Color
Origin
Material
Porpouse
But others sources
Determiners
Opinion
Size
Age *
Shape *
Color
Origin
Material
Porpouse
Wich sequence is correct?
Thank you
Adjective order is not a fixed rule; there is some flexibility in how adjectives can be ordered, so you will see different rules in different sources. The important thing is to have a general sense for adjective order, so you that you can notice it in real-life texts (i.e. in reading and listening). See these two sources below that give the same order as mine:
dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adjectives-order
learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/english-grammar-reference/adjective-order

I was afraid and much confused of grammar especially of adjectives, I always don't want to think into it, but I want to learn also I don't know how to start and end... I didn't get the perfect explainer in simple way throughout this life. But today this video makes me more interesting about adjective. Thank you so much I don't want to miss any of your lessons and I don't want to waste my precious time in looking into another presenter. This is more than enough. Thank You so much God bless you abundantly Sir 🙏.
Thanks, Ganesh, for your videos...they are extremely helpful! I was wondering if you could make a video with several sentences, maybe a small paragraph, showing all the different parts of speech. If you could make a small paragraph and label every word explaining why each word is the particular part of grammar that it is, that would be very helpful to me, and I'm guessing to others as well. Again, many thanks for your videos!
These videos helping me alots ...Thank you so much...
