SOME SHORTCUTS AND TRICKS ABOUT ADJECTIVES

 

ADJECTIVES: DESCRIBING WORDS (NOUN/PRONOUN)

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, RAVI IS HANDSOME, BEAUTIFUL RABBIT

ATTRIBUTIVE ADJ. – USED WITH NOUN

PREDICATIVE ADJ. – USED AFTER VERB

ADJ. + NOUN (CORRECT), ADJ. + PRONOUN (INCORRECT)

ANS. GIVEN BY  (WHICH/WHAT-TYPE/KIND OF) IS ADJ. (TRICK)

  • PROPER ADJ. (MADE FROM PROPER NOUN)

INDIA – INDIAN, AMERICA – AMERICAN 

  • POSSESSIVE ADJ. (MY, YOUR, OUR, HIS,HER,ITS,THEIR +NOUN)

THIS IS MY BOOK, THIS BOOK IS MINE.

  • DEMONSTRATIVE ADJ. (THIS,THAT,THESE, THOSE+NOUN)

THIS BOOK IS MINE.

  • DISTRIBUTIVE ADJ. (EACH, EVRY, EITHER, NEITHER+NOUN)

             EACH STUDENTS

  • INTERROGATIVE ADJ. (WHAT,WHICH,WHOSE+NOUN)

WHAT CAR YOU LIKE?

  • ADJ. OF QUALITY – (HONEST,BRAVE,INTELLIGENT,EVIL,BAD)

            RAVI IS A HONEST BOY.

  • ADJ. OF QUANTITY – (SOME,MUCH,MANY, FEW, LITTLE,LESS, MORE,NO,PLENTY,SUFFICIENT ENOUGH)
  • ADJ. OF NUMBER – (ONE,TWO, SECOND)

(ORDINAL – NUMERAL)

DEGREES OF ADJECTIVE:

  • POSITIVES DEGREE: NO COMPARISON, QUALITY OF SUBJECT

SHE IS EVIL, RAM IS A GOOD BOY.

  • COMPARATIVE DEGREE: IN COMPARISON (TWO)

            HE IS SMARTER THAN I, GEETA IS THE BETTER OF TWO SISTERS.

(USE THE BEFORE ADJ. IF SUBJECT IS THE PART OF GROUP)

  • SUPERLATIVE DEGREE: IN COMPARISON MORE THAN TWO

QUANTIFIERS:

LITTLE: FOR UNCOUNTABLE NOUN (LITTLE – LESS – LEAST)

FEW: FOR COUNTABLE NOUN (FEW – FEWER – FEWEST)

(NOT USE WITH NUMBER, QUANTITY)

LITTLE/FEW: NEGLIGIBLE

A LITTLE/A FEW: SOME

THE LITTLE/THE FEW: ALL AVAILABLE

THAT IN SENTENCE USE THE

MANY (COUNTABLE)

MUCH(UNCOUNTABLE)

SOME (+ SENSE, POLITE SENSE)

ANY (- SENSE)

FARTHER (DISTANCE), FURTHER (IN ADITTION TO), LATER ((TIME), LATTER (ORDER, OPPOSITE OF FORMER), LAST (ORDER), LATEST (TIME), ELDER (BLOOD RELATION), OLDER (ANY), NEAREST (CLOSE), NEXT (BESIDE), A LOT OF/LOTS OF (SAME MEANING)

  •    AS….AS, NOT SO ……. AS (COMPARE)

            AS - + POSITIVE DEGREE - AS (POSITIVE SENSTENCE), SO (+ DEGREE) (NEGATIVE                    SENTENCE)

  • THEN (COMPARATIVE DEGREE/MORE + DEGREE)

             TIMES + COMPARATIVE DEGREE (INCORRECT)

  • THE + SUPERLATIVE DEGREE
  • THE + COMPARATIVE DEGREE + OF, THE + SUPERLATIVE DEGREE + OF (SELECT FROM GROUP)
  • SUPERIOR, SENIOR, JUNIOR, PRIOR, INFERIOR, ANTERIOR, POSTERIOR, PREFER, PREFERABLE, ELDER (TO)
  • ABSOLUTE, INTERIOR, EXTERIOR, MAJOR, MINOR, EMPTY, FINAL, CIRCULAR, EXTREME, CHIEF, ENTIRE, COMPLETE, PERFECT, LAST, UNIQUE, UNIVERSAL, ROUND, SQAURE, ETERNAL, ULTERIOR, IDEAL, IMPOSSIBLE, SUPREME (NO USE COMPARATIVE/SUPERLATIVE DEGREE)
  •  TWO QUALITY COMPARE (USE MORE + DEGREE)

            SHE IS MORE INTELLIGENT THAN BRAVE.

  •         NO OTHER, ANY, ANY OTHER, ANYBODY ELSE

            NO OTHER GIRL IS AS BRAVE AS SITA. (SITA IS THE PART)

            NO FEMALE IS AS BRAVE AS RAVI. (RAVI IS NOT A PART)

  • SAME DEGREE FOR TWO ADJ. FOR SAME NOUN
  •  THE + WHOLE, ALL + THE, ALL/BOTH + POSSESSIVE ADJ. NOT PRONOUN, POSSESSIVE ADJ. + WHOLE, POSSESSIVE + THE (INCORRECT)
  • (LINKING VERBS) BE, SEEM, APPEAR, TASTE, SEEM, SMELL, SOUND, FEEL, TURN, BECOME, GET, GROW, KEEP, LOOK, MAKE, PROVE + ADJ. (NOT ADVERB)
  • COMPARATIVE + SUPERLATIVE (INCORRECT)
  • FIVE YEARS OLD (COMPOUND NOUN), FIVE-YEAR-OLD BOYS(ADJ.)
  • DIFF. PREPOSITION – DIFF. ADJ.
  • NUMER – OPINION – SIZE – PHYSICAL – SHAPE – AGE – COLOR – ORIGIN – MATERIAL – PURPOSE.
  • COMPARATIVE CORRELATIVE ADJ.

           THE MORE HE WORKS HARD, THE MORE HE EARNS.

  • REPETITIVE COMPARATIVES.

           MORE AND MORE, BETTER AND BETTER.

Ring {Algebra} (B.Sc. Mathematics NEP Notes)

  Ring RING     A  ring is algebraic structure (R, '+' , '.') that consists of a set equipped with two binary operations, usually called addition and multiplication. The definition of a ring includes the following properties: Additive Closure:  The set R is closed under addition, meaning that if you add any two elements from the set R, the result is also in the set R. Additive Associativity:  Addition is an associative, meaning that for any elements a, b, and c in the set R s.t. (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) Additive Inverse:  For every element  a  in the set R, there exists an additive inverse (usually denoted as  -a ) in the set R such that a+(-a)=0 and (-a)+a=0. Additive Identity:  There exists an additive identity element (usually denoted as 0) in the set R, such that for any element  a  in the set R, a+0=a and 0+a=a. Commutative:  The commutative law for addition states that for any elements a and b in a set R s.t....

Group {Algebra} (B.Sc. Mathematics NEP Notes)

Group Semi group A semigroup is an algebraic structure consisting of a non-empty set equipped with a binary operation (an operation that takes two elements from the set and produces another element in the set) that is associative. In other words, for all elements a, b, and c in the set, the operation satisfies the associative property: (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) In a semigroup, there is no requirement for an identity element or inverses, as is the case in groups. Quasi group Let G be any non-empty set and * is a binary operation than the structure is called Groupoid or quasi group if the binary operation in the set G satisfy the commutative property. a*b = b*a A groupoid with identity element is called Loop. Monoid A monoid is an algebraic structure that consists of a non-empty set, a binary operation A monoid is defined by the following Properties: Associativity:  The binary operation is associative, meaning that for all elements a, b, and c in the set M, the...
