Perfect explanation! You're absolutely right when you say adjectives need to analyzed closely. I have come to observe that most English teachers aren't well aware of all these functions. A great beginning of another day. Thank you, ma'am!

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

Thank you Ritu. English is their mother tongue so they perhaps do not need the kind of objective understanding that we do. It comes naturally to them? Your comments always bring cheer.

Can u help me with a doubt? If the sentence is "much time is lost in heavy traffic" Can much and heavy both work as adj of quantity?

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

'much' qualifies 'time' and 'heavy' qualifies traffic. Both ask how much? therefore quantity.

That's what I thought but my child's teacher told her that heavy would be quality 😞

Ma'am, how can 'possessive pronoun' be a subject in a sentence?..is it grammatically correct??

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

Why not? Hers were missing from the house. Here it is subject. However, like all pronoun subjects, we need a noun reference in a previous sentence as to who the 'hers' is referring to.

Many children, here many is counted as adjective of number as we can count the number of students.can we consider 'many' as adjective of quantity here in this context

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

Some of your sentences are incorrect. Rule: if the word is followed by a noun it is an adjective.

Mam! Is always perfect teacher And you explained us as its Thanks a lot But let me add one things and there’s Please its hard to see the written lesson

I know. It's an old video. Should make a new version in the future.

[@anilmanwani1734]

(Paula keeps her hats in three large new triangular green boxes.) Mam in this sentence we use comma in all adjectives because all the adjectives are of different function

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

The rule for commas is to see if you can interchange the adjectives. e.g. if i change to: triangular three large new boxes will it be ok? So i know i cannot change the position of three in this sentence so no comma after three. But 3 (new large triangular green) or (green new large triangular) seem ok. They are interchangeable. Hence. you can put commas after them, except the last adjective before boxes.

[@hemaharikant8319]

mam pls help me with adjective of quantity and indefinite number \

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

They are the same but usage can be different. Quantity is that which cannot be counted e.g. much water, great amount of pain, enough groceries etc. Whereas indefinite number does not tell you exactly what number. e.g. a few girls, several men, many birds, lots of people etc. where if it were definite, we can substitute it with a number like thousand, two, sixteen etc.

[@s.cgupta7254]

this is standing in the place of noun

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

This dog is cute. This = demonstrative adjective (which dog? this) . This is my dog. This = pronoun (this stands in place of dog)

[@ankurseth6739]

Sentence: The Chinese army is three times the size of the Indian army. Hi Mam - is above sentence logically and grammatically correct? If so - is it an example of part-nominal ellipses i.e. "Size of" is ellipted from the noun phrase (Size of The Chinese army)

Jhootha glass / jhootha khana meaning in English?

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

In English, the nearest translation of the word 'jhoota' with food is 'sullied'. It is never used in English speaking cultures. They would use the word 'spoilt' for food that going bad. Lekin 'jhoota' yeh shabd is not sada hua khana. Yeh shabd caste ya jaat paat se juda hai, jo unke culture me nahi hai. Sullied means ganda ya brasht karna... so I think that suits 'jhoota' nearest in translation.
