Adjectives
There's a category of adjectives called demonstrative adjectives, which identify particular nouns and pronouns. Think about when you're talking with someone and you have to demonstrate what exactly you're talking about. Let's say you want to tell a friend which car is yours in the parking lot. You might to your car to demonstrate that is yours, and you might say, That Car is Mine.

In that sentence, the word 'that' is a demonstrative adjective that modifies the noun 'car'.

The word 'that' works to identify something in the sentence, and to answer the question Which one? The demonstrative adjectives this and that can identify singular nouns and pronouns, and the demonstrative adjectives these and those can identify plural nouns.

Most adjectives answer the question What kind? by offering descriptions of nouns and pronouns. Think for a minute about how you might describe a book by explaining what kind of book it is. You might describe a book with the adjectives red, huge, scary, hilarious, or important.

If you use several adjectives to describe a noun, be sure to separate those adjectives with commas. For example, you might say, I just started a new, exciting, challenging job. Note that the adjectives 'new', 'exciting', and 'challenging'are separated by commas.

Finally, adjectives can also answer the question How many?, and they can do so in a spesific or general way. So, if I tell you that I have two cats,  the word 'two' is an adjective that describe the noun 'cats'. I can speak more generally, though, and tell you that I have some spare quarters or that I have lived in many different states. Each of the words that tell how many in those sentences - 'two', 'some', and 'many' - is an adjective.

Adverbs 
As i mentioned earlier, an adverb describes, or modifies, a verb, adjective, or other adverb. Adverbs answer question like When, Where, Why, How, and To what extent?

Here are some examples of adverbs in sentences

I carefully carried the stack of books across the room. Here, the adverb 'carefully' modifies the verb 'carried' to answer the question How?
She completly destroyed her new car. Here, the adverb 'completely' modifies the verb 'destroyed' to answer the question To what extent
The new father lowered the baby into his crib very slowly. Here, we have two adverbs. The adverb 'Slowly' modifies the verb 'lowered', and the adverb 'very' modifies the adverb 'slowly'. These modifiers answer the question How?
The teacher became very angry with her students. Here, the adverb 'very' modifies the adjective 'angry' to answer the question To what extent? 

Comparative and Superlatives
We can make comparisons between and among things and people by using adjectives and adverbs. We use the comparative form of an adjective or adverb to compare two people or things. Tho form a comparative, you'll need to use an -er ending or the word more

We use the superlative form of an adjective or adverb to compare more than two people or things. To form a superlative, you'll need to us an -est ending or the word most.

Here are some examples

Studying grammar is a great, exciting way to spend my time. 
I could watch a movie, but studying grammar is the greater, more exciting way to spend my time. 
Note the here, you're comparing two things : Watching a movie and studying grammar.
Studying grammar is the greatest, most exciting way that i have ever spent my time. In this sentence, we're using the superlative form to compare more than two things : Studying grammar and everything else that the speaker has ever done.

Becoming a cold-hearted wasn't really what I planned to do with my life. At this point, if it doesn't make me better than before, make me happier than yesterday, or give me more money than the last, I don't make time for it.
