  1. Different types of Grammer By AndressVallot

  2. Adjectival Nouns • An Adjective can sometimes function as a Noun; the young, the rich, etc. These are Adjectival Nouns, meaning the people who are young, the people who are rich, etc.

  3. Adjective • An adjective modifies a noun. It describes the quality, state or action that a noun refers to.

  4. Adjuncts • An adjunct is part of a Sentence and modifies the Verb to show time, manner, place, frequency and degree.

  5. Adverbials • An adverbial is a group of words that functions in the same way as an Adverb

  6. Adverbs • Most adverbs in English are formed by adding -ly to an Adjective. An adverb is a word that modifies the meaning of a Verb; an Adjective; another adverb; a Noun or Noun Phrase; Determiner; a Numeral; a Pronoun; or a Prepositional Phrase and can sometimes be used as a Complement of a Preposition.

  7. Attributive Adjective • An attributive adjective comes before a noun and not after a copula verb, like BE, SEEM, etc.

  8. Common Adjective • A common adjective is an adjective that is not written with a capital letter. Most adjectives are common- ones that are written with a capital letter are proper adjectives .

  9. Comparative • The Comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb used to compare two things. To create a comparative, remember that with short adjectives add -er to the end, and longer ones use more before the adjective

  10. Demonstrative Adjectives • Demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those) show whether the noun they refer to is singular or plural and whether it is located near to or far from the speaker or writer.

  11. Disjunct • A disjunct expresses the speaker or writer's attitude to what is being described in the sentence.

  12. Possessive Adjectives • My, your, his, her, its, our, and their are the English possessive adjectives, used with nouns to show possession or ownership.

  13. Predictive Adjectives • A predicative adjective comes after a copula verb (linking verb) and not before a noun.

  14. Proper Adjective • A proper adjective is an adjective that is written with a capital letter. They are often derived from proper nouns: • A Japanese camera- Japanese is derived from the proper noun Japan.

  15. Resultative Adjectives • A resultative adjective is an adjective that is placed postpositively (after the noun it modifies) and reflects a change that occurs by action of the verb on the noun. Hence result +ative. • He cooked the meat rare. • She painted the fence white. • She rinsed the glass clean.

  16. Superlative • The Superlative is the form of an adjective or adverb that shows which thing has that quality above or below the level of the others. There must be three or more to use the superlative. It takes the definite article and short adjectives add -est and longer ones take 'most'
