What is an adjective? 甚麼是形容詞?" a4 Y2 n& t: K! G. W1 y
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun. * m* b* x* B: l0 |
形容詞是用來形容句子中的名詞或代名詞的。6 L: W6 x+ j5 I9 s( E

(3) An adjective can be used before the noun or after the verb.

Before the noun:

r6 z% b* x; I$ Q% b- NThe girl is beautiful. - B& C9 d( }7 ]9 M& L
*Despite the different positions of the adjective, "beautiful" in both of the sentences above is describing the "girl".
3 |( \9 B: q3 z5 H4 x/ P*儘管"beautiful"這個形容詞在以上兩句中的位置各有不同,但都是在形容"girl"。7 D; z. o3 Y" k& b

普遍地,我們可以只用一個或兩個形容詞連在一起來形容一個名詞。我們也可以把三個形容詞連在一起使用,但這不是很常見的情況。而把多於三個形容詞連在一起使用,更是十分異常的。
