English Grammar - Adjective
She sang a 'sweet' song. 'sweet' here is :
Options:
- Adverb
- Adjective
- Noun
- Pronoun
Right Answer: Adjective
In the sentence 'She sang a sweet song', the word 'sweet' is an adjective because it comes immediately before the noun 'song' and describes its quality, telling us what kind of song it was. It is used attributively here. If the sentence had been 'She sang sweetly', then 'sweetly' would be an adverb modifying the verb 'sang'. A noun names a person, place or thing and a pronoun replaces a noun, neither of which applies to 'sweet' in this sentence. Hence option (2), Adjective, is correct.
