1. Study the theory block

You must remember from our previous lesson that adjectives add a description to the sentence. An Adjective adds a description to the noun(Adjective means added to). An adjective can describe a person, animal, place, thing or tell the number or quantity of the noun.
An adjective can be a single word (like exciting, amusing) or a compound(hard-working, self-centered) that actually modifies the noun. The different kinds of adjectives define the noun, verb or sometimes even other adjectives.
But how are Adjectives formed? How does beauty(noun) convert to beautiful(adjective)? Is there a thumb rule to work this out without being an english grammar maestro? We are so excited to answer all these in a very refreshing logical way. Let’s get cracking!

Read the text and answer the questions Family The average British family has classically been understood as a  nuclear family  with their extended family living separately. However, today the archetypical family (husband, wife and children) can no longer be the exact social expectation. In the UK, one in three people is a step-parent, step-child, adult step-child, step-sibling or step-grandparent. According to the Office for National Statistics, more children are being raised in single parent households. Also, as the stigma associated with premarital intercourse has diminished, the number of unwed mothers has increased. Families are increasingly incorporating  LGBTQI + relationships.
