About Adjectives

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The page sits in the Grammar: Words and Sentences strand of English language. Its resources fall into a few clear groups: comparatives and superlatives, adjectives ending in -ed and -ing, adjective order, gradable and ungradable adjectives, adjectives followed by prepositions, and vocabulary for feelings, character and places.

Where to start

Begin with comparatives and superlatives, as they are the largest group. The mind map Comparative adjectives splits the rules into short adjectives, long adjectives and special cases such as good, better and bad, worse. The flashcards Comparatives and Superlatives explain when to use each form. The COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES QUIZ then asks you to complete sentences about animals.

Building vocabulary

Next, widen your range. The deck Normal and Extreme Adjectives pairs everyday words with stronger ones, such as angry and furious. The quiz Feeling & Emotion Fill in the Blanks lets you use feeling words in a short story. For -ed and -ing pairs, try Adjectives ending in -ed/-ing. as a quiz. There is also a flashcard deck aimed at FCE, called Adjectives - ending in -ing / -ed for FCE.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, so the rule is fresh. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note which answers you missed. Go back to the map or the flashcards for those points, and try the quiz again later. Teachers can set a map as a recap and a quiz as a quick check, or pick a flowchart for a visual summary.

  1. Read a map or notes.
  2. Take a quiz.
  3. Review the gaps with flashcards.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I start with?

Start with the mind map Comparative adjectives. It sets out the rules for short adjectives, long adjectives and special cases in a few branches. Then test yourself with the COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES QUIZ, which has you complete sentences about animals.

What do the mind maps cover?

Most maps deal with comparatives and superlatives, setting out when to add -er or -est and when to use more or most. Others cover adjective order, adjective types and -ed and -ing endings. They are good for a quick recap before a quiz.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so you will see different styles and approaches from one resource to the next.

Which levels do these resources suit?

The large majority are at secondary level, so they suit school students. Teachers can use them as ready-made material. One flashcard deck is aimed at FCE, covering adjectives ending in -ing and -ed.

Is there anything on adjectives with prepositions?

Yes. There are several flashcard decks on adjectives plus prepositions, and quizzes called Adjectives and Prepositions and Dependent prepositions AFTER ADJECTIVES. They help with pairs such as an adjective followed by a fixed preposition.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try the related topics nearby, such as extreme adjectives, gradable and ungradable adjectives or negative prefixes. A free account lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, so you can fill any gap yourself.
