  • 🍎 Descriptive Adjectives: These adjectives describe the qualities or characteristics of a noun. They answer the question, "What kind?" Example: *a red car*, *a tall building*.
  • 🔢 Limiting Adjectives: These adjectives restrict the noun they modify. They include articles (a, an, the), demonstratives (this, that, these, those), possessives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their), and numbers. Example: *the book*, *this house*, *five cats*.
  • 📈 Comparative Adjectives: Used to compare two nouns. They usually end in -er or are preceded by "more". Example: *taller*, *more interesting*.
  • 🏆 Superlative Adjectives: Used to compare three or more nouns. They usually end in -est or are preceded by "most". Example: *tallest*, *most interesting*.
