Adjectives
Adjectives are words that
describe or modify another
person or thing in the
sentence. The Articles — a,
an, and the — are
adjectives.
Examples:
1. The tall professor.
2. The lugubrious lieutenant.
3. A solid commitment.
4. A month's pay.
5. A six-year-old child.
6. The unhappiest, richest man.
Adjective Clause
If a group of words containing
a subject and verb acts as
an adjective, it is called an
Adjective Clause. My
sister, who is much older
than I am, is an engineer.
Adjective Phrase
If an adjective clause is
stripped of its subject and
verb, the resulting
modifier becomes an
Adjective Phrase: He is
the man who is keeping
my family in the
Position of Adjective
Adjectives appear immediately
before the noun or noun phrase
that they modify. Sometimes
they appear in a string of
adjectives, and when they do,
they appear in a set order
according to category.
Position of Adjective
When indefinite pronouns —
such as something,
someone, anybody — are
modified by an adjective,
the adjective comes after
the pronoun.
Example:
1. Anyone capable of doing
something horrible to
someone nice should be
punished.
2. Something wicked this
way comes.
