Adjectives

1. Introduction:
	Examples:
	--------
	I bought a new (adjective) book (noun).

An adjective modifies (changes a little) a noun. 
An adjective gives a little different meaning to a noun. It 
describes or gives information about a noun.
An adjective usually comes in front of a noun.
Sometimes, It is alone after the verb.

 
2. Adjective:
There are 2 basic positions for adjectives:
- Before the noun and
- After certain verbs 

 2-1 - Adjective before noun:
-------------------------
	We sometimes use more than one adjective before the noun.
	The correct order for two or more adjectives is: opinion, fact:
	Opinion: is what you think of something. 
	Fact: is what is definitely true about something (Objective information)

	The normal order for  fact adjectives is: 
	size  age  shape    color   origin     material  
	Example:
	--------
	A strange true  big   old  square  black  Chinese  wooden   table 


	Opinion= nice, intelligent, beautiful, delicious, etc
	Size and length = big, small, tall, short, long, etc
	Shape and width = round, fat, thin, slim, wide, etc
	Size = how big?, Age = how old?, Color = what color?,
	Origin = where from?, Materiel = what is it made of?
 

	Determiners usually come first, even though they are 
	fact adjectives:

	Articles (a, an, the) 
	Possessives (my, your...) 
	Demonstratives (this, that...) 
	Quantifiers (some, any, few, many...) 
	Numbers (one, two, three) 

	When we want to use two color adjectives, we join them 
	with 'and':

	Examples:
	--------
	An unusual gold ring
	A good-looking young man
	An attractive modern house
	A black leather gloves
	An old American movie
	A large red nose
	A little old red car
	A small black metal box
	A long wide avenue
	A big black fat cat
	A lovely little old village
	An interesting old French painting
	A long blue and yellow dress. 


2-2- Adjective after Verb:
----------------------
	2-2-1 after a Verb:
	----------------
	We can use an adjective after certain verbs: 
	(Be, become, get, seem, look, feel, sound, smell, taste),
	Even though the adjective is after the verb, it does not 
	describe the verb. 
	It describes the subject of the verb (Usually a noun or pronoun).
	Examples: 
	--------
	She seems upset.
	This soup tastes awful.
	This job sounded very interesting.
	He feels fine today.
	They look wet! Where have they been?
	Because she had to wait, she became impatient. 
	The examination did not seem difficult. 
	Your friend looks nice. 
	Be careful!
	Dinner smells good tonight. 
	She looks very happy.
	This milk tastes sour. 
	The coffee tastes strong.


	We use an adverb after other verbs:
	Examples: 
	--------
	Read quickly!
	Surf carefully!
	He has done it very well.

	We use an adjective after look when it means seem. But
	We use an adverb after "look at".
	Example: 
	-------
	They look at it angrily.

 

	2-2-2 after the verb to BE:
	----------------------
	The world was populated.       
	The world is overpopulated.

	The past participle form of the verb is often used 
	as an adjective as follow:
	Subject + BE + past participle 
	Example:
	--------
	They were swamped by a lot of work.
