Pronouns and Adjectives

There are two types of pronouns: your regular everyday pronouns and your possessive pronouns: 


  POSSESSIVE: your, my, his, her, its, their, our

  REGULAR: you, I, me, he, her, it, they, we
Adjectives are words which are used to describe a noun in some way. Adjectives can take three forms: 

	Regular			Comparative			Superlative
   
	green			greener				greenest
	large			larger				largest
	hungry			hungrier			hungriest
	mean			meaner				meanest
	cold			colder				coldest
For many adjectives the comparative form is made by adding -er and the superlative form is made by adding -est. Other adjectives cannot be modified this way and the comparative is formed by using more (as in "more enormous") and the superlative is formed by using most (as in "most enormous").
