1. The uses of Adjectives in sentences
Adjectives describe nouns and can be used in various ways:
- Before nouns: “There are so many historical buildings.”
- After verbs like be, become, get, etc.: “The mosques are very beautiful.”
- After find/make/keep + object: “I found the insects frightening.”
- With other adjectives or nouns to describe a noun: “a long, tiring boat ride.”
2. Order of Adjectives:
- Adjectives are placed in a specific order: size > temperature > age > shape > color > nationality > material > type.
- When there are two or more adjectives, “and” is used between the last two, except for colors: “vivid blue and green feathers.”
3. Adjectives Ending in -ed and -ing:
- Some adjectives related to feelings are formed from verbs and have two forms, usually -ed or -ing.
- The -ed forms talk about how we feel,
- while -ing forms describe things or people that cause the feelings.
