Position of Adjectives
Names:
Miguel Bravo Y.
Cristian Yumisaca.
Eduardo Barreno.
Date: April 28th, 2015
Position of adjectives
Adjectives usually go before the nouns they modify.
• She is a nice girl. (Here the adjective nice modifies the noun girl and goes
before it.)
• He is an intelligent boy.
• That was a clever idea.
When two or more adjectives come before a noun, they are usually
separated by commas.
• A large, round table
• A short, fair, pretty girl
Note that we do not put a comma after the last adjective in the series.
When the last two are adjectives of color, they are usually separated by and.
• A black and white cow (NOT black white cow)
• Red and blue socks
When two or more adjectives come in the predicative position, we
use and between the last two.
• It was hot and sultry.
• The boy was handsome, smart and polite.
• The clouds looked white and fluffy.
Sometimes we put an adjective after the noun for the sake of emphasis.
• There lived an old man strong and wicked. (More emphatic than ‘There
lived a strong and wicked old man.’)
In phrases such as those given below, the adjective always comes after the
noun.
• Time-immemorial
• Heir-apparent
• God Almighty
• President elect
In lines of poetry, too, the adjective is sometimes put after the noun.
 O men with sisters dear! (Instead of ‘O men with dear sisters’)
