Words that tell us what a thing is like: words that we add to the noun
to make our meaning
fuller or more exact arе
called adjectives.
Adjectives

nouns.
e.g. Loud
voices in the kitchen could he heard from the yard.(M. Wesley)

far-father (further) - the farthest (the furthest); old - older the older (age), elder - the eldest (in the family),
many
(much) more - the
most; ill - worse the worst;
We use as ... as to say that the two parts of
compared adjectives are equal or the same in some way.
e.g. Carol is as young as Debra.
Negative of this is : not as .. as, or not so . . as ;. It is not so hot today as it
was yesterday.
The + comparative + the + comparative.
e.g. The more we study, the
more we know, the more we know the less we study.

compared adjectives are equal or the same in some way.

Negative of this is : not as .. as, or not so . . as ;. It is not so hot today as it
