Question

What are the examples of indefinite adjectives ?

Answer 1

Hint: An adjective is a word that shows the quality or quantity of a noun. For e.g ugly, little, much, cold, big etc.

Complete answer:
There are 3 kinds of numeral adjectives 1) Definite numeral adjectives 2) Indefinite numeral adjectives 3) Distributive numeral adjectives.

Indefinite adjectives are the adjectives that modify nouns and pronouns. Indefinite means ‘ something that is vague or not clearly expressed’ .Therefore, indefinite adjectives modify nouns and pronouns in an unclear or vague manner. Words that are used as indefinite adjectives are any, each, few, many, much, most, several, some etc.

Let’s explain what we mean when we say ‘indefinite adjectives modify nouns and pronouns in an unclear or vague manner’. E.g. She bought some fruits.

‘Some’ is the indefinite adjective but it does not tell the exact quantity i.e. the exact quantity of fruits is unclear.

Some more examples of indefinite adjectives are as follows:
Seem wanted to have some time of her own.
Several students voluntarily agreed to participate in the marathon.
Most parents were upset over their child's screen time.
Only a few fruits were fresh.
Each student will have to pay Rs. 100 as fine.
Many birds sat on our terrace in the morning.

Note: Words used in indefinite pronouns are similar to those used in indefinite adjectives. We can differentiate between both of them by identifying which of such words is followed by a noun, if the word is followed by a noun it is an indefinite adjective and if it replaces the noun its indefinite pronoun.
