Indefinite Adjectives 
Indefinite adjectives are used when the sentence has nothing to point out or specify. These 
adjectives are formed from indefinite pronouns and do not indicate anything in particular. It 
uses words such as, any, many, few and several, etc. Here is an example explained in detail: 
'The chief has heard many people make the same promise'. The word 'Many' is an indefinite 
adjective which does not specify the quantity of people and modifies the noun 'people' without 
pointing out exactly who all have made the said same promise. Other examples: 

Many children like dinosaurs. 

Is there any water in the bottle? 
Interrogative Adjectives 
An Interrogative adjective modifies a noun or a noun phrase and is similar to the interrogative 
pronoun. It does not stand on its own and includes words such as, which, what, who, whose, 
whom, where and so on. For example: 'What dress are you wearing?' Here, 'what' modifies the 
noun 'dress' and is the object of the compound verb 'are wearing'. Other examples: 

Which leaves turn color first? 

Whose son is he?

Comparative Adjectives 
Comparative adjectives are those which imply increase or decrease of the quality or quantity of 
the nouns. It is used to compare two things in a clause. Adjectives are generally made 
comparative by adding 'er' to the original work like nicer, taller, smarter, etc; there are some 
exceptions also. Other examples are: 

The detective is younger than the thief 

Science is more important than math in these days. 

This school is better than the last one I attended. 
Superlative Adjectives 
Superlative adjectives express the greatest increase or decrease of the quality; it conveys the 
supreme value of the noun in question. For instance, 'He is the richest man in this town'. Here, 
the word 'richest' is the superlative adjective which shows a comparison individually. 

Mary is the tallest of all the students. 

I am in the smallest class in the school. 

This is the most interesting subject for me. 
It is not difficult to describe anything in this world. Even a lizard can be called pretty by 
someone and ugly by another; adjectives fall into place right here. The type of description 
required in the specific sentences is something, which should be given utmost attention to, and 
the right kind of adjective must be duly selected. These are the simplest parts of speech ever!
