Adjectives are the words that describe or qualify a noun or a pronoun are called adjective.
Avoid double comparatives. Adjectives of one syllable usually form their comparatives by adding –er to the positive.

Articles(a/an, the), possessives (my, your etc) and demonstratives(that, these, this and those) are called Group A determiners. Quantifiers like all, some, both and half are called Group B determiners. A Group A determiner cannot be used directly before a Group B determiner.
If we have to put a group B determiner before a group A determiner, we have to use of. Note that of can be left out after all, both and half when they are followed by nouns.
