A sentence is initiated with a subject most of the times followed by verbs and object. It is true that without a proper subject forming a meaningful sentence is next to impossible. But, the truth behind the greater role of an adjective in expressing the thoughts is inevitable and absolutely undeniable. An adjective can resolve many critical or incomplete doubts in a very steadfast manner. It just needs a set of skill and understanding to put it in a perfect place according to the requirement of the sentence or situation.
Different types of the adjective are used for their individual purposes. These adjectives are:
Adjectives of Quality (Descriptive Adjectives), Adjectives of Quantity, Adjectives of Number, Demonstrative Adjectives, Interrogative Adjectives, Emphasizing Adjectives and Exclamatory Adjectives. If you start forming a sentence, the lack of vocabulary is similar to not knowing suitable and proper adjectives. These parts will precisely help you to gather specific vocabulary to form your sentences.
We should start analysing on the two predictable positions of adjectives:
- Two or more adjectives.
- Adjectives used both before and after nouns.
- Two or More Adjectives:
Examples:
the growing Czech urban population
part. adj. + origin + type
a horrible old broken wooden writing desk
opinion + age + part. adj. + material + type/purpose (part of compound)
It is not recommended to use more than three adjectives to describe a noun. The long series of adjectives above is only an illustrative example of their usual order.
- Adjectives used both before and after nouns:
Some adjectives can be used both before and after nouns
– without a change of meaning: affected, available, imaginable, obtained, possible,
required, suitable
This is the only possible solution.
Or: This is the only solution possible.
The position after the noun is used mainly when the adjective is followed by
a prepositional phrase or when it is understood from the context that this might be
the case.
the results obtained (from our experiments)
– with a change of meaning: concerned, involved, present
all the people present (who were there)
my present address (the address I have now)
the students involved (who took part in that experiment)
an involved explanation (complicated)
all those concerned (affected)
concerned teachers (worried)
Specific use of adjective enhances the level of your communication and your communication will certainly become attractive in front of your audience. They will find the meaning of your words more precisely.
