What do adjectives look like?

The English adjectives often end with the following suffixes which are mentioned below:

• -an
• -ar
• -ent
• -ful
• -less
• -ous
• -some
• -ic
• -ical
• -ine
• -ile
• -ive
• -able
• -ible
• -al

We have to careful in working with these adjectives because there are adverbs and nouns that end with –y, many nouns that end with -ary and much more like that.

Where do adjectives go in a sentence?

If you come upon a word that ends in -y, -ary or -ate (or the other suffix for that matter), and you wish to grasp if it’s an adjective, simply check out wherever it’s and what it’s doing within the sentence. If it comes right away before a noun, and particularly if it comes between a writing (a, an, the), a possessive adjective (my, his, her, its, your, our, their), a demonstrative (this, that, these, those) or a quantity (some, most, all, a few) and a noun, then it’s an adjective.

• The grass field was wet in the dew. Here, “grassy” comes between an article and noun. So, it is an adjective.

Below examples tell about adjectives that act as complements:

• He was smart, handsome and rich.
• He is tall.
• You were my best friend.

The correct order of multiple adjectives:

When you list or place many adjectives in a row then there is a specific order of it in which they have to place in writing or speaking. Normally, native English speakers tend to put them in order but if you an English learner then memorize the below order:

• Determiner: Determiner is nothing but articles, demonstrative, and possessive adjectives
• Opinion or observation
• Size
• Shape
• Age
• Color
• Origin
• Material
• Qualifier

An example of it is mentioned below:

• My coffee table is beautiful, big, circular, antique, brown, English, and wooden.
