Learning Outcomes

Adjectives are the second Part of Speech which learners must know before they proceed to the study of Verbs. In this course, learners will understand adjectives and their uses to define or focus the meaning of nouns. Moreover, beginners will understand Comparison of Adjectives easily.

  • Adjectives are describing words that answer these questions: WHAT KIND OF? WHAT COLOUR? WHAT SIZE?

  • The 3 degrees, or steps, of comparison are covered: positive (for one), comparative (for two) and superlative (for more than two). Some adjectives add -er to form the Comparative and add -est to form the Superlative. However, some adjectives add MORE to form the Comparative and add MOST to form the Superlative. Learners will also know that some adjectives are formed IRREGULARLY: their positives, comparatives and superlatives are different.

  • A and AN are the Indefinite Articles. THE is the Definite Article. In addition, learners will understand how to use AN in front of a word as we should rely on the pronunciation of the word rather than the spelling of the word. Substitution Tables are introduced to show when to use A or AN in sentences.

Ranjit Singh Thind

I am an English Language Trainer / Tutor and Writer based in Malaysia. As I have more than 20 years of experience training adults and tutoring students, I have meticulously developed English language programmes which are suitable for native and non-native speakers alike. My English language programmes using the Structural Approach are based on the study of grammar, and hence they are suitable for students and workers who would like to improve their proficiency in the English language. I believe there is a need for linking grammar and composition. Hence, the aim of a grammar lesson is to show to a learner how to avoid a drab or dull way of writing and talking. Writing makes learners think and express themselves clearly, correctly and confidently. Accordingly, I offer writing programmes that help learners develop their written English effectively.
