1. Classroom Explanation
An adjective is a word that describes or qualifies a noun or pronoun. It tells us more about quality, quantity, number, size, colour, etc.
हिंदी: Adjective वह शब्द है जो किसी noun या pronoun की विशेषता बताता है।
2. Types of Adjectives
- Adjective of Quality – good, brave, honest
- Adjective of Quantity – some, much, little
- Adjective of Number – one, two, many, several
- Demonstrative – this, that, these, those
- Interrogative – which, what, whose
- Possessive – my, your, his, her, our, their
हिंदी: Quality = कैसी?, Quantity = कितना?, Number = कितने?
This/That = इशारा करने वाले adjective।
3. Degrees of Comparison
- Positive – big, tall, brave
- Comparative – bigger, taller, braver
- Superlative – biggest, tallest, bravest
हिंदी: Positive = सामान्य, Comparative = दो की तुलना, Superlative = सबसे अधिक।
4. Important Rules for NDA
- Use “than” with comparative degree (He is taller than me).
- Use “the” with superlative degree (He is the tallest boy).
- Double comparatives like “more better” are wrong.
- “Less” is used for quantity; “fewer” for number.
हिंदी: “More better” ❌, “better” ✔। Quantity = less, Number = fewer।
5. Solved Examples
Example 1:
He is ____ (tall) than his brother.
He is ____ (tall) than his brother.
Comparative required → taller
हिंदी: दो लोगों की तुलना = taller
हिंदी: दो लोगों की तुलना = taller
Example 2:
She is the ____ (intelligent) girl in the class.
She is the ____ (intelligent) girl in the class.
Superlative with “the” → most intelligent
हिंदी: सबसे ज़्यादा = most intelligent
हिंदी: सबसे ज़्यादा = most intelligent
