interrogative pronouns: _who, which_, and _what_.
Build eight sentences, each containing one of the following adjective pronouns: _few, many, much, some, this, these, that, those_. LESSON 73. CLASSES OF ADJECTIVES. +Hints for Oral Instruction+.--When I say _large, round, sweet, yellow oranges_, the words _large, round, sweet_, and _yellow_ modify the word _oranges_ by telling the _kind_, and limit the application of the word to oranges of that kind. When I say _this orange, yonder orange, one orange_, the words _this, yonder_, and _one_ do not tell the kind, but simply point out or number the orange, and limit the application of the word to the orange pointed out or numbered. Adjectives of the first class describe by giving a quality, and so are called +Descriptive adjectives+. Adjectives of the second class define by pointing out or numbering, and so are called +Definitive adjectives+. Let the teacher write nouns on the board, and require the pupils to modify them by appropriate descriptive and definitive adjectives. |
