Adjectives
can you give me examples of general and specific adjectives?
Top answer
General adjectives are those that are relatively vague and often overused: big, small, good, bad, happy, sad , etc. Specific adjectives are those that are more descriptive, perhaps more extreme, and more appropriate to the specific context in which they are used: big: gigantic, huge, great, enlarged , etc. small: tiny, miniscule, minute, shrunken , etc.
