English Grammar: Lessons in Adjective

Previous

Page - 10

Rule 5 - The adjective is correctly used with a verb when some quality of the subject rather than of the action of the verb, is to be expressed. For example -

1. You look very smart.
2. I feel thirsty and hungry.
3. The mangoes look fresh but taste sour.
4. The flowers in the vases smell sweet.
5. The teacher looks angry.

Study the following sentences -

1. The officer spoke to the clerk angrily. (Adverb)
2. The officer looked angry. (Adjective)
3. The man looks cold. (Adjective)
4. The students began to look coldly upon their teacher. (Adverb)
5. We feel warmly on the subject. (Adverb)
6. We feel warm. (Adjective)

Pay Attention - In the sentences 1, 4, 5, the adverbs 'angrily, coldly, warmly' modify the verbs 'spoke, look, feel' respectively as the action of the verb in these sentences is clear; while in the sentences 2, 3, 6, the adjectives 'angry, cold, warm', are related to the noun / pronoun rather than to the verbs.

Rule 6 - When there is no comparison, the adjective is used only in the positive degree. For example -

1. Nehruji was a great leader of our country.
2. We were eager to know the result.
3. If we are not aspirant, we can learn nothing.
4. They are more famous leaders. (Incorrect)
5. They are famous leaders. (Correct)
6. How much money do you spend a day?

Rule 7 - A comparative degree is used when two objectives, two persons or two sets are compared with each other. For example -

1. Gandhiji was greater than Sardar Patel.
2. Renuka is more beautiful than her sister.
3. The streets of Mumbai are wider than those of Calcutta.
4. Your house is better and more attractive than mine.
5. Girls are more diligent than boys.
