What is a quality adjective?

A quality adjective describes the characteristics or attributes of a noun or pronoun. It tells us what kind, how much, or which one of something.

Here's a breakdown:

* What kind: This describes the nature or type of something. Examples: beautiful, delicious, old, funny, smart.

* How much: This describes the quantity or degree of something. Examples: large, small, many, few, some.

* Which one: This identifies a specific item from a group. Examples: this, that, these, those, first, last.

Here are some examples of quality adjectives in sentences:

* The delicious cake was gone in minutes. (What kind of cake)

* She has a large collection of stamps. (How much of a collection)

* This is the book I was looking for. (Which one book)

Note: Quality adjectives are often called descriptive adjectives. They can be further categorized into more specific types like color adjectives, size adjectives, and texture adjectives.
