ADJECTIVES PLAN: The uses of adjectives. An adjective describe how something *is*. For this reason, we often use the verb *to be* when using adjectives. Adjectives are used to describe nouns. And these are forms of sentences that contain adjectives: Subject + To Be + Adjective Example: Tom is shy. Alice is happy. Subject + Verb + Adjective + Noun Example: That is a big building ! Peter has a fast car. The adjective is always invariable. Example: beautiful trees, they are happy Take note of these important rules to follow when using this sentence pattern. Adjectives don't have a singular and plural form OR a masculine, feminine and neutral form. They are always the same. Example: My doctor is excellent, as opposed to difficults books. [which is incorrect]. Adjectives can also be placed at the end of a sentence if they describe the subject of a sentence. Example: My friend is clever. Adjectives Are Placed Before Noun Example: a wonderful book; very interesting people Note: Don't place an adjective after the noun! Example: an apple red.[incorrect]
