Lesson 12: Adjectives

(7:52)

Marie is sitting on the sofa inside her cottage, next to a large bouquet of pussy willows, bull rushes, and peacock feathers. An agate coffee table in front of her is covered with many interesting objects. "Let's discuss adjectives here. I've collected a few of my treasures to use as examples. An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun." With the use of her colorful and soulful props Marie demonstrates examples of the different forms of adjectives: proper adjectives, pronominal adjectives, qualitative or descriptive adjectives, quantitative adjectives, predicate adjectives, demonstrative adjectives, interrogative adjectives, singular possessive adjectives, plural possessive adjectives, and articles. "Adjectives are the beautiful paints with which we describe the canvas of our words."
