Visheshan (Adjective) - Primary school (classes 1,2,3)

 Adjectives are known as Visheshan ( विशेष गुण) in Hindi.

Visheshan is ‘describing words’ which describe a person, place, thing or state. In other words, they describe the action, state, quality or quantity of nouns/pronouns.

It’s important to remember that the noun word associated with an adjective is called विशेष्य.

Without the presence of a noun word or विशेष्य, the use of adjectives is worthless.

In Primary classes, we introduce four types of Adjectives –

1.   गुणवाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Quality)

2.   संख्यावाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Number)

3.   परिमाणवाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Quantity)

4.   सार्वनामिक/संकेतवाचक विशेषण (Demonstrative Adjective )

Earlier I had posted about Adjectives/Visheshan for Preparatory classes. I’m sharing the link to that post…

In this post I am uploading notes along with the practice worksheets to help the teachers/parents to help their kids to understand the concept of Adjectives /Visheshan

In case of any queries feel free to get in touch. Happy teaching!!!!
