形容詞的五大用法

王小英

一、形容詞兩功能，一作“定”二作“表”。

[例句]This is a new bag. (new作定語)

This bag is new.(new作表語)

名詞之前必作定，“性質，特征，狀態”表。

二、形容詞用以修飾名詞或置于代詞one, ones前面。表示人或事物的特征等。

[例句]This is an old picture. (old修飾名詞，放在所修飾的名詞前面）

Could I have a full one, please?(修飾代詞，置于代詞前面)

三、系動詞后是表語，構成“主系表”。

形容詞常和be動詞或連系動詞(look/feel/sound等)連用，作表語，構成“主系表”結構，即“主語+系動詞+表語”，說明主語是什么或怎么樣，即說明主語的特性。

[例句]Mrs. Gao is young./Mrs. Gao looks young.

四、單獨使用見口語，程度可用too/very。

形容詞有時也可單獨使用，此時多見于口語中。有時形容詞前加very,too, quite等副詞修飾，表示程度。

[例句]——How are you? ——Fine./Im very well. Thank you.

The box is too heavy. We cant carry it.

五、遇到“不定”往后站，特殊用法記心間。

形容詞作定語一般放在被修飾詞之前，但在修飾something, anything, nothing等不定代詞時，要放在這些詞之后。

[例句]I have something important to do.
