What kind of adjective is the underlined word in the sentence?
We did not get enough rain in July, so the paddy fields in our village stayed dry.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Adjective of Quantity
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Here “enough” tells how much rain fell, and rain is something we measure, not count.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Adjective of Number | how many people or things there are, or their place in order (one, few, many, second); used with things we can count | Many parents came to the annual day function. |
| (2) Adjective of Quality | what kind a person or thing is (honest, tall, green) | Our milkman is an honest man. |
| (3) Adjective of Quantity (answer) | how much of a thing there is (some, much, little, enough, whole) | We bought enough rice for the whole month. |
| (4) Distributive Adjective | takes people or things one at a time (each, every, either, neither) | Each runner was given a bottle of water. |
