Adjectives bring sentences to life by describing nouns. In Class 2 IEO, children are tested on adjectives of quality and quantity, plus comparative (taller) and superlative (tallest) forms. Bronze questions identify the adjective in a simple sentence. Silver questions test comparative and superlative forms with short adjectives. Gold questions require spotting errors in double comparatives (‘more prettier’ is always wrong) or counting all the adjectives in a sentence — including quantity adjectives like ‘three’ or ‘several’, which children often overlook.
Which word is the adjective in this sentence: 'The tiny bird sat on a tall tree.'?
Correct: C) tiny
'Tiny' is the adjective — it describes the bird and tells us what kind of bird it is. ('Tall' is also an adjective in this sentence.)
Choose the correct adjective: 'This is the ___ book in the library — it has over a thousand pages.'
Correct: B) thickest
When comparing one thing to all others in a group, use the superlative form: 'thickest'. Add '-est' to short adjectives. 'Most thick' is incorrect — we do not use 'most' with short adjectives.
Rohan has three pencils. One pencil is long. The second is longer. The third pencil is ___.
Correct: B) longest
For comparing three or more items, use the superlative: 'longest'. Comparative ('longer') is for two items; superlative ('longest') is for three or more.
Which sentence uses adjectives correctly?
Correct: C) This mango is sweeter than that one.
Option C is correct — 'sweeter' is the proper comparative form of 'sweet'. Options A, B and D are wrong because they double-compare: 'more prettier', 'most tallest' and 'more smarter' are all grammatically incorrect.
How many adjectives are in this sentence? 'Three excited children ran through the narrow, muddy lane.'
Correct: C) 4
There are 4 adjectives: 'three' (how many), 'excited' (describes children), 'narrow' (describes lane) and 'muddy' (describes lane).
