Modul 14

Adjectives

1. An adjective is a word which modifes a noun or a pronoun. In the example below:

He's got a beautiful car

beautiful is an adjective modifying car (it gives more information about the noun car.)
2. Adjectives may come before a noun
He found a nice job
3. Adjectives may also come after certain verbs like be, feel, seem, look:
He is intelligent
I feel happy
She seems unhappy
They look fantastic

Adjectives versus adverbs

A distinction must be made between adjectives and adverbs.
1. An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun.
She lives in a big house.
2. An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
She sings well
Her house is very big
She did it really well
