asking
A ravishing tall young blond South
African woman. Charlize Theron - A hideous
massive middle-aged German monster.
Frankenstein. In this lesson we're going
to talk about adjectives so stay tuned
What are adjectives ? They are words
that give more details or identify nouns
or pronouns. They can be used to modify
them, to modify the nouns or pronouns or
can act as a complements to a linking
verb.What is a linking verb ? A linking verb
can be: be, feel, become, etc. you can
watch a lesson on linking verbs if you
click here, now I've listed, as you can
see 7 tips on adjectives. The first one
adjectives do not change form so they stay
the same
I mean, a nice girl
is the same as to say a nice man or if
you want to say the plural nice girls
nice men, obviously without the article
a, because we're talking about plurals
so the adjective doesn't change stays
the same
nice girls nice men doesn't change, so
number 2 placed in front of nouns
obviously so a white house in this case
we have white which is a color and is an
adjective and describes house which is
a noun
so they're placed before the nouns
the 3rd tip, if this mean purpose of the
statement is to give the information given
by an adjective then they are placed after
a linking verb, for example he feels
how that he feel ? he feels exhausted
exhausted is the adjective, it is actually
preceded by the verb to feel which is it
is linking verb, another example she
seems tired, seems is the linking verb
and in this case we have tired as the
adjective so the other tip that I have
is adjectives -ed or -ing adjectives also
called describe the effect that
something has on your feelings or ideas
or to describe the way somebody's
affected by something I have a lesson on
this you may click here to watch that
lesson so an example an exciting trip or
a bored student, i'm not going to spend
much time on this because i have a
lesson but if you want to watch it
you may do so, now the 5th tip compound
adjectives and I also have a lesson on
this you may click here to watch that
lesson compound adjectives are two or
more words put together using a
hyphen, a hyphen is just a dash so brown-eyed
girl brown-eyed is a compound
adjective tall-dark men a tall-dark is
a compound adjective, the 6th one is comparative and
superlative adjectives there is a lesson
on that so you can click here if you
want to watch that lesson they are used
to compare two or more nouns
Shorter than me for example
so the most important part of this
lesson would be the order of adjectives
and here i listed a table showing all
the types of adjectives that we find
before a noun the first would be a
determiner, so a determiner would be
a , the, an, every, these, this, etc. the
observation in this case is ravishing
because we are describing a
beautiful actress so she's ravishing
observation what I think of her then we
have size, and then I listed tall she's
a tall woman shape, shape I didn't write
anything but it could be anything from
hallow, narrow, deep, flat, shallow, etc then
age in this case I wrote young then color
blond blond could be also written with
an e at the end I chose not to write it
then origin where she is from and she's
a South African woman material I
didn't list anything
ah for material but material could be
anything from wood, silver, metal
qualifier and purpose I didn't list
anything but a quantifier would be
anything from very, enough, indeed, pretty
and then the noun in this case
woman then for the second example the
determiner is a observation is hideous
size massive age shape I didn't write
obviously age middle-aged color nothing
origin German and then the noun monster
now the last example that i'm going to
give you lists all the adjectives that
we can write before a noun
so the determiner several observation
expensive
size little shape round age antique color
brown origin Roman material bronze
qualifier collectible and then the noun
coins as you can see I left a space for
you to write your own example so this
would be written under this video now
let's recap, this lesson we looked at
adjectives, adjectives are words that
describe or identify a pronoun or
a noun I listed 6 tips you to follow
but most importantly I told you about
the order of adjectives I recommend you
