Adjectives
Where adjectives go in a sentence
We use adjectives to describe nouns.
Most adjectives can be used in front of a noun:
They have a beautiful house.

We saw a very exciting film last night.
or after a link verb: like be ( is, are, am ), look or feel:
Their house is beautiful.

That film looks interesting.

Adjective order
We often have two adjectives in front of a noun:
Some adjectives give a general opinion. We can use these
a handsome young man
adjectives to describe almost any noun:
a big black car
that horrible big dog good
bad
lovely
strange nice
beautiful
brilliant
excellent awful
important
wonderful
nasty
He's a good/wonderful/brilliant/bad/dreadful teacher.
That's a good/wonderful/brilliant/bad/dreadful book.

Some adjectives give a specific opinion. We only use these adjectives to describe particular kinds of
noun, for example:
We usually put a general opinion in front of a specific opinion:
nice tasty soup
a nasty uncomfortable armchair
a lovely intelligent animal
Furniture,
Food People, animals
buildings
clever
delicious comfortable
intelligent
tasty uncomfortable
friendly
We usually put an opinion adjective in front of a descriptive adjective:

a nice red dress
a silly old man
those horrible yellow curtains
Three or more adjectives
Sometimes we have three adjectives in front of a noun, but this is unusual:
a nice handsome young man
a big black American car
that horrible big fierce dog
It is very unusual to have more than three adjectives.

Adjectives usually come in this order:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Specific Nationali
General opinion Size Shape Age Colour Material
opinion ty
Adjective order
The categories in the following table can be described as follows:
Determiners — articles and other limiters. See Determiners

Observation — post determiners and limiter adjectives (e.g., a real hero, a perfect idiot)
and adjectives subject to subjective measure (e.g., beautiful, interesting)
Size and Shape — adjectives subject to objective measure (e.g., wealthy, large, round)
Age — adjectives denoting age (e.g., young, old, new, ancient)
Color — adjectives denoting color (e.g., red, black, pale)
Origin — denominal adjectives denoting source of noun (e.g., French, American,
Canadian)
Material — denominal adjectives denoting what something is made of (e.g., woolen,
metallic, wooden)
Qualifier — final limiter, often regarded as part of the noun (e.g., rocking chair, hunting
cabin, passenger car, book cover)- Calificador: limitador final, a menudo considerado
como parte del sustantivo (p. Ej., Mecedora, cabina de caza, automóvil de pasajeros,
cubierta de libro)

Rules
Rule 1. Many adverbs end in -ly, but many do not. Generally, if a word can have -ly
added to its adjective form, place it there to form an adverb.
Examples:
She thinks quick/quickly.
How does she think? Quickly.
She is a quick/quickly thinker.

Quick is an adjective describing thinker, so no -ly is
attached.
Rule 2. Adverbs that answer the question how sometimes cause grammatical
problems. It can be a challenge to determine if -ly should be attached. Avoid the trap
of -ly with linking verbs such as taste, smell, look, feel, which pertain to the senses.
Adverbs are often misplaced in such sentences, which require adjectives instead.
Examples:
Roses smell sweet/sweetly.
Do the roses actively smell with noses? No; in this case,
smell is a linking verb—which requires an adjective to
modify roses—so no -ly.
Rule 3. The word good is an adjective, whose adverb equivalent is well.
Examples:
You did a good job.
Good describes the job.
You did the job well.

Well answers how.
Rule 4. The word well can be an adjective, too. When

referring to health, we often use well rather than good.
Examples:
You do not look well today.
I don't feel well, either.
Rule 5. Adjectives come in three forms, also called degrees. An adjective in its normal
or usual form is called a positive degree adjective. There are also comparative and
superlative degrees, which are used for comparison, as in the following examples:
