List of AdjectivesClick herefor a list of over 1,100 adjectives.
The list of adjectives is something of wonder. Behold the modest adjective. It can leap tall buildings in a single
bound. It makes the average citizen smarter and kinder. It keeps you in the cleanest car on the block. Such
potent words should be used wisely. Read on and learn how to use your adjective powers for good.
An adjective's job is to modify anounorpronoun. 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. Instead, show your reader or listener
what you are talking about by usingverbsand nouns creatively. Sprinkle fewer well-chosen adjectives for
interest.
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)
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.
My lunch was good, hers was better, and yours was the best.
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:
American
French
Japanese
Latino
Asian
Australian
Catholic
Lutheran
Jewish
The following lists are just a sampling of adjectives in the English language. They are categorized by the type of
attribute they describe. Use your dictionary or thesaurus to add to each list or use the complete list below this
one.

List of PrepositionsYou think you don't need a list of prepositions? Would you know a preposition if you met one?
Click herefor our "huge list of prepositions".
English speakers use prepositions in both formal and everyday communication. Without them, the English
language would sound short and choppy. If you have a child starting grammar lessons, read through the list of
prepositions and take a quick refresher class on prepositions.
Prepositions connect nouns, pronouns, and phrases with other words in a sentence. It gives information about
location, direction, space, or time. Prepositions are usually part of a phrase because they often have a noun or
pronoun after them. Here are two examples of prepositions in sentences.
The dog jumped over the fence.
I will go to the doctor.
The main job of prepositions is to create relationships between words. How is the dog related to the fence? It
jumped over the fence. How am I related to the doctor? I am going to the doctor
Prepositional phrases can also act like adverbs or adjectives. Remember that adverbs describe verbs (actions
and being), and adjectives describe nouns and pronouns (ideas, people, places, and things).
As an adverb - The children crossed the street with caution.
The prepositional phrase "with caution"describes the way the children crossed the street.
As an adjective - He lives in the house with the red roof.
The prepositional phrase "with the red roof"describes the house in a specific way.
Children will see prepositions in their early reader books. In Kindergarten and first grade, children are focused on
word recognition and reading skills. Basic sentence structure is taught, but it is too early for children that young to
learn parts of speech. Below is a list of prepositions new readers can recognize easily:

List of NounsUsing a list of nouns when children are beginning to read is helpful in making teaching easier. Nouns are one of
the first parts of speech that children learn when they begin to read. Use the following list of nouns for each age
group to help your child learn about the ideas things, people and places that surround them.
Kinds of Nouns in the English Language
Nouns have different types or classes. There are proper and common nouns,noncount and count
nounts, collective nouns, and concrete and abstract nouns.
Even though there are different kinds of nouns, a noun can fall into more than one class.
An example of this would be: Kathleen dated three different Davids in college. Davids in that sentence would fall
into the classes of proper, count and concrete.
To further explain the kinds of nouns, you can use this guide and remember thatthe lists of nouns below
contain all of these types :
KINDS OF NOUNS
Proper Nouns and Common Nouns
Proper nouns are nouns that represent a unique entity (like a specific person or a specific place).
Common nouns which describe an entire group of entities (examples would be the nouns village or women).
Proper nouns as a general rule are capitalized in the English language. Common nouns as a general rule are not
capitalized.
Sometimes the same word can function as both a common noun and a proper noun, where one such entity isspecial. For example the common noun god refers to all deities, while the proper noun God specifically refers to
the monotheistic God.
Countable and Uncountable or Noncount Nouns
Countable nouns are common nouns that can become a plural. They can combine with exact numbers (even
one, as a singular) or indefinite numbers (like "a" or "an").
Uncountable (or noncount) nouns are different from by the simple fact that they can't become plural or combine
with number words. Examples from English include "indigestion" and "furniture".
Collective Nouns
Collective nouns name groups consisting of more than one individual or entity. The group is a single unit, but it
has more than one member. Examples include "family", "committee", "corporation","faculty", "army", and
"school".
Concrete Nouns and Abstract Nouns
Concrete nouns refer to their ability to register on your five senses. If you can see, hear, smell, taste, or feel the
item, it's a concrete noun.
8/2/2019 List of English Vocab
17/30
Abstract nouns on the other hand refer to abstract objects such as ideas or concepts, like the nouns "politeness"
or "hatefulness".
Possessive Nouns
A possessive noun is a noun that names who or what has something. The possessive form is used with nouns
referring to people, groups of people, countries, and animals.
It also refers to where someone works or plays or spends their time.
Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to form the possessive of most singular nouns (ex. Bob's jacket, the cat's tail,
Steven King's books).
Add an apostrophe (') to form the possessive of plural nouns that end with s (ex. retailers' stores, soldiers'
weapons, Americans' banks).
Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to form the possessive of plural nouns that do not end with s (ex. geese's nest,
children's toys, women's dresses).

What is a Pronoun?For a complete list of pronouns,click here for the "big pronoun list".
Pronouns are the stunt doubles of the English language. They keep communication going with or without thenouns. Pronouns come in to keep nouns from getting repetitive or when nouns are not clearly known. They do
more work than you think, so read on to learn about them.
Subject and object pronouns are used in everyday language. However, it can be tricky to remember which is
which. The subject always takes action. The object is part of the activity, but it does not do any acting. Here is an
example:
Shelby likes talking to Marvin.
Shelby is the subject; she is l iking and talking. Marvin is the object; all the liking and talking is done to Marvin but
not by Marvin.
Subject and object pronouns function in the same way.
Subject pronouns include I, you, he, she, it, they, we.
Object pronouns include me, you, him, her, it, us, them. See the following examples:
Subject
I might see you later.
You have to come now.
She lives in Nebraska.
He makes me angry
It just might work.
They caught the last train.
We can t see the end.
Object

Sarah hit meon the arm.
I need to tell yousomething.
Larry took himaside.
The message wasn t for her.
Take itto the store.
Summer is fun for us.
Margaret took themdownstairs.
Possessive pronouns show who owns something described in a sentence. They include mine, his, hers, its,
ours, yours, their, and theirs. Possessive adjectives are similar to possessive pronouns. However, the possessive
adjective comes before the object of the sentence; the possessive pronoun is the object of the sentence. See the
difference here:
That is my dog. (possessive adjective, before the object dog )
The dog is mine. (possessive pronoun, which is the object)
Intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns look the same. However, they act differently in a sentence.
Intensive pronouns put an emphasis on other pronouns or nouns. Reflexive pronouns rename the subject in a
sentence. Look at the following examples:
Intensive pronoun She herself will go to the bank. (herself emphasizes the pronoun she)
Reflexive pronoun She cut herself on the arm. (herself renames the pronoun she)
Intensive and reflexive pronouns include:
myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
Demonstrative pronouns refer to things in relation to distance.
This and these refer to things that are close by. That and those refer to things farther away.
This is your shirt.
That is my house on the corner.
These good friends are sitting next to me.
Those roads in the next town are bumpy.
Indefinite pronouns replace nouns that are not specified. They include the following: all, another, any, anybody,
anyone, anything, both, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, neither, nobody, none, no one,
nothing, one, several, some, somebody, someone, and something. Read the example sentences for a better
understanding.
We gave everything to the homeless shelter
All were sad to see the children go.
Give a present to each as they come in.
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask a question. They include who, whom, what, which, whose, whoever,whomever, whatever, and whichever. Consider the example sentences below:
Which of these do you like best?
Who was just in this room?
Whatever happens next, I am prepared.
Relative pronouns connect (relate) noun or pronoun clauses with other parts of a sentence. They include who,
whom, what, which, whose, whoever, whomever, whatever, whichever, and that. See how these are used in the
sentences below.
The paper that she just wrote is due tomorrow.
Learning is easier for people who have a good teacher.Whoever leaves the room needs to turn off the light.

Pronouns do a lot in the English language, don't they? They are the no-name workhorses, jumping in for
the superstar nouns when they get exhausted. Hey, someone's got to do something about the work nobody
wants to do!
