As the adjective changes

As the adjective changes

It is simple to establish changeable morphological characteristics of adjectives. They correspond to categories of number, a case and sort of the defined word designating a subject. Do not forget that sometimes at an adjective it is impossible to define all changeable signs.

Instruction

1. You will be able correctly to establish changeable signs peculiar to adjectives after definition of the category on value. An opportunity to appear in the form of degrees of comparison, to be short or full distinguishes qualitative from adjectives possesive and relative.

2. The ability of manifestation of the considered sign in a smaller or bigger measure testifies to the adjective relation to qualitative (more ridiculously, wiser, the most courageous). Characteristic of a subject of material (tin, silver), the instruction on action (trailing, drilling), time (evening, tomorrow's) or the place (rural, house) are peculiar to relative adjectives. Accessory is established possesive (falcon, grandmother's, fathers).

3. Unlike others, qualitative adjectives can be used in a comparative or superlative degree, their idle time (it is formed by accession of suffixes) and compound (it consists of several parts) forms. Review examples: comparative – white – is more white, liquid - is more liquid, weak – weaker; excellent - heavy – the hardest, sad - the most sad. From adjectives of this category the short form (nice – is nice, charming – she is charming, tiny - tiny), which does not change on cases is usually formed.

4. The part of speech designating sign of a subject has ability to change on numbers and cases. Find the defined word (usually the noun happens it), which will form a basis of recognition of the specified changeable grammatical categories.

5. Define adjective number (a fleeting meeting, an attractive look, crane clang – the only thing, iron-works – multiple). On condition of the use in singular the patrimonial accessory is learned: masculine, feminine or neutral gender (wooden chest, grandfather's award, western current).

6. To learn a case, ask the correct question to the defined noun. This grammatical characteristic is established as in the only thing, and plural (a fragrant lily of the valley, chocolates – Etc.). The case used in a certain number and adjective gender can be recognized by their terminations.

7. In our language verbal adjectives (dried apples, the broken line, pareny turnip) which have similar changeable morphological categories often meet.
