  5. Adjective classification

  6. Use adjectives correctly Predicate adjectives; Forms used in front of noun Alike like, similar Alive live, living Alone lone Afraid frightened Asleep sleeping A predicate adjective appears after a linking verb such as be. It cannot appear directly in front of the noun that it describes. The snake on the rock was alive. The live snake was lying on the rock.

  7. Use adjectives correctly Verb forms ending in –ed and –ing can be used as adjectives. For example, the verbal adjectives cleaned and cleaning come from the verb to clean. The woman cleans the car. The cleaning woman worked on the car. The woman put the cleaned car back in the garage.

  8. Use adjectives correctly Sometimes we use two or more adjectives. • My brother lives in a nice new house. • In the kitchen there was a beautiful large round wooden table. Adjectives like new/large/round/wooden are fact adjectives. They give us factual information about age, size, colour etc. When there are 2 colour adjectives, we use and; a black and white dress Adjectives like nice/beautiful are opinion adjectives. They tell us what somebody thinks of something or somebody. Opinion adjectives usually go before fact adjectives. I was met an interesting young man yesterday. It’s the first day of nice long summer holiday.

  9. Use adjectives correctly We use adjectives after be/get/become/seem; • Be careful ! • Your friend seems very nice. • As the film went on, it became more and more boring. • I’m tired and I’m getting hungry. Compare adjectives ending in –ing and –ed. The –ing adjectives tells you about the job. The –ed adjectives tells you how somebody feels (about the job). My job is boring. I’m bored with my job. interesting. I’m not interested in my job any more. tiring. I’m always tired when I finish work. depressing. My job makes me depressed.
