Chapter 5 Adjective Notes Cont’d. Lesson 2 Predicate Adjective: - is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the verb’s subject - linking verb connects the predicate adjective with the subject - predicate adjectives can follow linking verbs other than the forms of be: taste, smell, feel, look, become, seem Lesson 3: Pronouns as Adjectives Demonstrative pronouns— this, that, these, those Example: This book is called a thriller. Possessive pronouns—my, our, your, her, his, its, and their Example: My thumbprint is a double loop, but your thumbprint is a tented arch. Indefinite pronouns – all, each, both, few, most, some Example: All fingerprints fit one of seven patterns. Example: Each fingerprint is unique. 3) Nouns as Adjectives - like pronouns, nouns can be used as adjectives Example: The fingerprint evidence convicted the murderer. Example: She was convicted on murder charges. Lesson 4 What Is an Adverb? Adverb – is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Example: Teenagers often make a unique impression. adverb + verb Example: They wear very creative clothing. Adverb + adjective Example: They nearly always have their own way of talking. adverb + adverb **Adverbs How? When? answer the questions: Where? To what extent? **Adverbs can appear in several different positions in a sentence: 1) before verb, 2) after verb, 3) beginning of a sentence Intensifiers: - Adverbs that modify adjectives or other adverbs. - They are usually placed directly before the word they modify. - They answer to the question to what extent? Example: How does Shari work so quickly? (so modifies quickly) Intensifiers: almost extremely especially nearly quite really so usually too very Lesson 5 Making Comparisons Special forms of modifiers used to make comparisons:1) comparative 2) superlative 1. Use the comparative form of an adjective or adverb when you compare a person or thing with one other person or thing. Example: Earth is larger than Venus. Earth orbits the sun more slowly Venus. 2. Use superlative form of an adjective or adverb when you compare someone or something with more than one person or thing. Example: Which of the four inner planets is the hottest? Which of the five outer planets rotates most quickly? Quick tip: For most: Add –er to one syllable modifiers-comparative Add –est to one syllable modifiers--superlative Lesson 6 Adjective or Adverb Tips: Good is always an adjective (modifies a noun or pronoun) Well is usually an adverb, BUT it is an adjective when it refers to health. Real is always an adjective (modifies noun/pronoun) Really is always an adverb (modifies a verb, an adverb, or an adjective) Bad is always an adjective (modifies a noun/pronoun) Badly is always an adverb (modifies a verb, an adverb, or an adjective)
