Types Of Adjectives In The English Language

Now, I am going to show you how I can classify a sentence as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex. Remember to pay close attention because you are going to be looking for these types of sentences after I finish explaining the four types of sentence structures. I

Without descriptive adjectives, the reader won’t be able to see or imagine how the characters look like, how the setting is described and you won’t be able to know the characters emotion. “Six feet tall, longish brown hair and blue eyes.” As you can see, this helps the readers visualize how that character looks like so without descriptive adjectives, you wouldn’t be able to imagine how the character looks. “He was in his late fifties and was pretty big, and he had a bit of a beer stomach.” From this quote you can see this shows he’s old and don’t take care of himself as much, so you can see how the character is like and act with descriptive adjective. “At the top of the stairs was this plain old bathroom with a shower curtain that had all kinds of fish designs on it… The ceiling slanted on the far side, and there was only one window.”After looking at this quote, you can tell that without descriptive adjectives you won’t be able to visualize the setting which can connect to how the characters feel in a way. To break this all down, without descriptive adjectives it would leave us clueless and confused because we won’t know anything about the characters(looks,emotions) and setting which would make the story perplexing and complicated.

The English language is particularly complex in almost all aspects. Many of the words in the English language have different meanings for the same word. This is not unlike the definition of the different levels of usage. McCrimmon defines the three levels, formal, moderate, and colloquial, by their sentence structure, diction, and tone (McCrimmon 193). ¹ Using McCrimmon’s definitions, authors can determine what type of writing is applicable to each of the three levels. For the formal writings, an adequate example of where readers can find it is in a professional journal, and an appropriate place to find an example of the moderate level is in a weekly news magazine. Also, the best place to look for an example of the colloquial level is in certain sections of the newspaper. All of the levels of usage apply to these different types of writings and assist in defining what each level involves.

Words are all around us. Words define the way we describe the way we articulate, one such example being this very paper, the way we interact with others, and most importantly, the way we feel or think. Adjectives: the words that give our world emotional meaning beyond the literal definition; that is connotation. Connotation is most evident in words to which we associate our most extreme emotions. Whether it is witnessing the greatest of fireworks, an elaborate collection of lights and sounds, or seeing truckfuls of babies being dumped into a blistering hot fire, the word we would use to describe these two events, fire, will forever be emotionally seen differently by whomever witnesses it. A word can develop in meaning, once meaning one thing to then mean something completely different. In fact, In Elie Wiesel’s “Night”, Elie’s definition of the word ‘fire’ changes from that of a danger to one’s self to that of destruction and revenge.

These elements are syntax, figurative

The use of adjectives such as “waisted cutglass vase” and “the

Subjective seeks a strong emotional response from the reader. The amount of detail is varied by how much the audience knows of the subject at hand. The tone is a key concept as well as the language used; this is what determines whether it is objective or subjective. The main elements in descriptive text are: focusing

Certain features are deemed important enough to warrant a category, and different languages prioritise different qualities. What this means is that when we say something belongs to a certain set, e.g. that putting toys into a container falls into an ‘in’ group, we are focussing on some, but neglecting other details of the situation, such as the ‘tightness’ of the fit. The framework of our language

A clear picture with lots of details tell a strong story. Therefore why write without adjectives. Pick up a book on the best seller list going through it, reading descriptive adjectives along the way, see how they add details to the other words. With adjectives the nouns dance with a fury and might.

The results show that both women and men used 2 to 3 negative adjective to describe both Tara and Michael. It was expected that men would use more negative adjective to describe Tara than they would to describe Michael, but that could not be concluded, because there was only a .6 difference. However, one of the hypothesis was that would use the same

I added a comma after the first adjective phrase “expensive looking” to distinguish that description before the second adjective phrase.
