| (2) Adjective of Quantity (answer) | how much of a thing there is (some, much, little, enough, sufficient); goes with things we measure, not count | Is there enough petrol in the scooter? |
| (3) Demonstrative Adjective | points to a person or thing (this, that, these, those) | These pencils belong to Gauri. |
| (4) Adjective of Number | how many people or things there are, or their place in order (one, five, many, first); goes with things we count | Three buses go to the airport from our stop. |
