形容词(Adjectives) 形容词用来表示人和事物的特征,对名词起修饰和描绘作用。形容词有两种:
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. There are two kinds:
定语性形容词 (attributive adjectives)
这类形容词与名词紧接,或在名词前,或在名词后,用来描述该名词。动词的分词形式(–ing,–ed)可以当作形容词使用。
例句:The black cat climbed a tree. The man felt a paralyzing fear.
表语性形容词 (predicative adjectives)
当一个动词或形容动词将形容词与名词或代词分开时,这个形容词具有表语的性质。形容动词包括like,look,seem, feel 和taste.
例句:The umpire was wrong. The crowd was furious. She seems tired today. This soup tastes bad. The dog’s coat feels smooth.
