A QUICK RECAP OF TODAY’S LESSON :

Today is all about faux adjectives. These are words that could function as adjectives but are not really adjectives.
❑ Faux adjectives are invariable. They do not need to agree with the gender and number of the nouns that they modify.
❑ There are three kinds of words that can double as adjectives: adverbs, nouns, and prefixes.
