Adjectives can be categorized in several ways, including as descriptive (quality), limiting(quantity, number, possession, demonstration), and by their function, such as attributive(before the noun), predicative (after a linking verb), or compound (multiple words). Other types include comparative/superlative, proper, participial, and interrogative adjectives.
