List of Adjectives
Why do you need a list of adjectives? Using adjectives properly can turn the
ordinary in to the extraordinary. When used accurately, they can add brilliant
interest to your conversation or written communication. However, there can be too
much of a good thing. Please keep your adjectives effective by choosing them
wisely.
An adjective's job is to modify a noun or pronoun. They are always near the noun or
pronoun they are describing. Be careful how you use adjectives such as interesting,
beautiful, great, wonderful, or exciting. Many adjectives like these are overused and
add little definition to a sentence. Show your creativity and common sense of
relativity when using adjective. Let reader or listener feel interesting and curious
what you are talking or writing about by using verbs and nouns creatively.
Adjectives are often used to describe the degree of modification. The adjective
forms are positive, comparative, and superlative.
This tree is tall. (positive)
That tree is taller. (comparative)
The last tree in the row is the tallest. (superlative)

Important about Anjectives : Proper adjectives are derived from proper nouns. They
commonly describe something in terms of nationality, religious affiliation, or culture.
Like proper nouns, proper adjectives have their first letter capitalized. Some
examples of proper adjectives include:

A handful of adjectives have irregular forms of positive, comparative, and

superlative usage. These include good/better/best, bad/worse/worst,
little/less/least, much-many-some/more/most, far/further/furthest. So be mindful
and always be in an attitude that Yes! I can do it!
