SECTION SIX: ADJECTIVES:

6.1 Usage:

As in French, adjectives are used in English to describe/give more information about nouns:

e.g. the blue car the sad teacher the intelligent lion

6.2 Structure:

A: Adjectives are placed immediately in front of the noun they are describing:

e.g. the wild pig the enormous elephant the angry boxer

B: In English, adjectives do not agree with the gender of nouns:

e.g. the tall man the noisy boy the happy prince

the tall woman the noisy girl the happy princess

C: Certain words ending in -ly are adjectives and not adverbs:

e.g. a friendly letter a lovely scene an early train

Here are some other adjectives of this type: daily, hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly.
