adjectives 是什麼 ? 要怎麼使用 adj ? (筆記整理)

英文中的形容詞就叫作 adjectives，或是對某些朋友來說 adj 在使用上不是那麼的得心應手，通常我們會這樣記 adj 是用來修飾 noun(名詞)的，而 adv (副詞) 是用來修飾動詞的。

若是就adj 形容詞來看其實它就是用來形容某個人或是某件事，通常都是放在名詞前面來修飾名詞，不過也可以放在連接動詞或是感官動詞的後面來形容某一種狀態。
adj + noun (修飾某人或某事):
A beautiful flower.
He is an amazing teacher.
She is a happy girl.

linkingverb + adj (修飾某人或某事) :
linkingverb(連接動詞舉例) : be / get / become
The progress was slow.
The progress get slow.
The progress become slow.

senseverb + adj (修飾某人或某事) :
senseverb (感官動詞舉例) : smell/taste/feel/seem/look
The progress was slow.
The progress seems slow.
The progress looks slow.

另外動詞也可以透過結尾加上 ed 或是加上 ing 而成為adjectives 形容詞，因此有 ing-adj以及 ed-adj，二種形容詞有些微的差異，ing-adj是用來形容人或是物件，而 ed-adj 比較偏向是修飾人們的感覺或是態度。

例如動詞： interest 有下列的變化
to interest (ver)
Basketball interests him.

interesting (ing-adj describe a person or object)
She is an interesting person.
Her stories are interesting.
interested (ed-adj describe feeling or attitude of a people)
I am interested in him and his story.
I am interested in her and her story.
He interested me in basketball.
