~ Lesson 11 Order of Adjectives 形容词的顺序 ~

^^Adjectives can be divided intowords that give opinions or word that describe.形容词可分为给予意见词或描述词. Opinion adjectives 意见词 are for example nice, horrible,naughty; lovely, best, worst. Descriptive adjectives 描述词 for example are black, little, Chinese, soft; big, round, hard;leather, ancient, modern ^^

 

~When using two or more adjectivesopinion adjectives go before descriptive adjectives.当使用两个或两个以上的形容词, 意见形容词需在描述性的形容词前面^^ 例如: Isn't he a nice, little puppy.('nice' is an opinion adjective; 'little' is a descriptive adj.) ^^

 

~ Opinion adjectives often tell how aperson (or people) feels about something. 意见形容词常常告诉一个人如何（或个人）的对东西或事情感觉。A lot of these adjectives end in 'ed' or 'ing'. 很多这些形容词的结尾为“ed”或“ING”。~ 例如：

1。 The football game is boring. (boring) 

2. It was a very disappointing day.(disappointing) 

3. Her parents were worried.(worried) 

4. The film was absolutelyterrifying. (terrifying) 

5. He was pleased with his testresults. (pleased) ^^

 

～ There are sixbasic types of descriptive adjectives. 有六种基本类型的描述性的形容词. ^^它们是：size, shape, age,colour, nationality, material. You are unlikely to use all of them at once butit can be useful to think through different ideas when you are writing.你不可能一次使用全部，但当你正在写作时可以是通过不同的想法来使用它们. ^^
