GRAMMAR ADJECTIVES: ADVANCED AND PROFICIENCY
Adjectives describe nouns. We normally use
adjectives in two positions - before nouns and after
'link' verbs (be, seem, appear, become, feel, look, tuste,
sound, smell, get, etc.):
What a pleasant man! He seemed pleasant.
We can use many adjectives in both positions, but
we use others in either one position or the other:
It was an outright victory (VICTORIA INDISCUTIDA, ABSOLUTA). I'm glad you could come.
Here are more examples of adjectives commonly
used before nouns:
countless, indoor, neighbouring, maximum,
northerly
Here are examples of adjectives used after verbs:
awake, content, asleep, aware, glad,
afraid, alive, sure, alone, alike.
