Definition of Adjective
In English, adjective is a part of speech that modifies a noun or a pronoun

In Thai linguistics, adjectives are simply called คำ��วิ�เศษณ์ /kham wi saeht/, which is usually translated as modifier.

Functions of Adjective Three main grammatical functions within sentences in the English language:
• Adjectives as Noun Phrase Modifiers-words and phrases that describe noun or noun phrases.
• Adjectives as Predicative Modifiers- adjectives and adjective phrases that follow a copular or
linking verb such as “be” and “become” and modifies or describes the subject.
• Adjectives as Object Complements- nouns, pronouns, noun phrases, adjectives, and
adjective phrases that directly follow and modify the direct object.

garden.• The very tiny puppy barked at the cat.• The restaurant served tasteless soup

Degree of Comparison in English
• English has two ways of forming the degrees of comparison
1. an inflectional way involving the use of the bound morphemes -er and -est, and
2. an analytical way involving the use of the free morphemes more and most.
