  1. Integrantes: Arthur Rodríguez Carol Saldaña Adjective

  2. Definition An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by: • Describing words • Identifying words • Quantifying words For example: The greydog barked. (The adjective “grey” describes the noun "dog".)

  3. Types of use in the sentences • Attributive adjectives are part of the noun phrase headed by the noun they modify. For example: Happy is an attributive adjective in "happy people". • Predicative adjectives are linked via a copula or other linking mechanism to the noun or pronoun they modify. for example: Sad is a predicate adjective in "that made me sad." • Absolute adjectives: modify either the subject of a sentence or whatever noun or pronoun they are closest to. For example: Happy is an absolute adjective in "The boy, happy with his lollipop, did not look where he was going." • Nominal adjectives: act almost as nouns. One way this can happen is if a noun is elided and an attributive adjective is left behind. For example: "I read two books to them; he preferred the sad book, but she preferred the fear, happy is a nominal adjective

  4. Where Do Adjectives Go in a Sentence? Between an article (the) and a noun (field). The grassy field was wet with dew. Between a possessive adjective (my) and a noun (trophies) These are my old trophies. Between an amount (a few) and a noun (days) We had a few ordinary days. Between a demonstrative (that) and a noun (kitchen) Did you see that immaculate kitchen? Complements are words that complete the predicate of a sentence when the verb is “be.” He is tall.
