#032- USING ADJECTIVES EFFECTIVELY

Adjectives describe (modify, qualify, add something) to the nouns and pronouns.

ATTRIBUTIVE USE OF ADJECTIVES
Placing the adjective before the noun which it qualifies.

COMPLEMENTARY USE OF ADJECTIVES
Placing the adjective at the end of a sentence, as a subject complement. Complementary use of adjectives completes the meaning of sentences.
