一、形容词的位置
(一)形容词通常用在名词的前面,起修饰名词的作用(形容词+名词)
Andy is a clever student.安迪是位聪明的学生。
Look at those black clouds.It's going to rain.看那些乌云,要下雨了。
Whose are the blue shoes?Mum's.蓝色的鞋子是谁的?妈妈的。
My maths teacher doesn't speak any foreign languages.我的数学老师不会说任何外国语言。
(二)形容词可以放在be(am,is are)动词之后,作表语用来叙述、说明主语。(am/is/are/was/were+形容词)
I'm thirsty .Can I have something to drink?我渴了,能喝些东西吗?
Danny is short and fat .丹尼又矮又胖。
Are you cold ?Shall I close the door?你冷吗?需要我关门吗?
Sh,be quiet .The teacher is coming.嘘,安静,老师过来了。
(三)当形容词修饰不定代词something,anybody,nothing时,放在不定代词后面(something/anybody/nothing+形容词)
There's something wrong with the bicycle.自行车有些问题。
Is there anything cheap in the supermarket?超市里有便宜的东西吗?
—What's the matter?—It's nothing important .发生什么事了?没什么重要的事。
(四)当形容词修饰的名词前面还有冠词(a,an,the)、代词(my,this,that等)或数词等修饰,它们的顺序是:冠词/代词/数词+形容词+名词
This is my favorite book.这是我最喜欢的书。
That's her new skirt.那是她的新裙子。
Those tall boys are in Class One.那些高个子男孩是一班的。
(五)当两个或两个以上的形容词修饰一个名词时,通常与被修饰的名词关系更密切、描述更具体的形容词靠被修饰的名词更近些。具体地说,其排列顺序是:
限定词➡描绘性形容词➡大小➡形状➡年龄➡颜色➡国籍➡材料
a big greedy bug 一只大的贪吃的虫
an old friendly teacher 一位善良的老教师
a nice quiet afternoon 一个美好的安静的下午
two little fat white cats 两只又白又肥的小猫
Tips:
表示“度量衡”的形容词,往往放在所修饰名词之后。
twenty feet broad 20英尺宽
six feet deep 六英尺深
seven meters long 七米长
thirty meters high 三十米高
five years old 五岁
