Adjectives
形容詞是一個詞，如“高大”、“孤獨”或“教育的”，用來描述或提供有關人或事物的更多資訊。形容詞通常在名詞之前，在存在和感知動詞之後，如“味道”和“感覺”。
示例:
That is a very tall man.
He's such a lonely puppy when I'm at work.
We watched an educational movie.
There was a sweet taste in my mouth.
The old, dark house gave me a bad feeling.
形容詞語序
當多個形容詞一起使用時，有一個語序：
數量、價值/意見、尺寸、溫度、年齡、形狀、顏色、來源、材料
The tall (size) Chinese (origin) vase was worth a lot of money.
My favourite (value/opinion) old (age) blue (colour) sweater was ruined in the wash.
The cold (temperature) round (shape) metal (material) touched my arm and shocked me.
使用形容詞進行比較
要比較兩個相等事物的屬性，使用這個結構：
as+形容詞+as
Coco is as thirsty as Steve.
She is as tall as her best friend.

要比較兩個不相等事物的屬性，請使用以下結構：
not as+形容詞+as

形容詞+than

Miranda is not as funny as her sister.
They are less cool than the others.
Miranda is less funny than her sister.

描述數量的形容詞
當比較相等的事物時，使用這個結構：
as+表示數量的形容詞+（名詞）+as

形容詞比較級
比較形容詞讓我們能夠比較兩個名詞。以下是與比較形容詞一起使用的結構：
名詞（主語）+動詞+比較形容詞+than+名詞（賓語）。
大多數比較形容詞都是在形容詞的末尾加上“r”或“-er”，或在形容詞前面加上“more”。
| 形容詞 | 比較 |
|---|---|
| 小 | smaller |
| 寬 | wider |
| strong | stronger |
| happy | happier |
| intelligent | more intelligent |
| important | more important |

Your health is more important than your need for sweet snacks.
綠色和紅色的糖果味道都不錯，但我更喜歡綠色的。 (暗示「…比紅色。」)。
最高級形容詞
最高級形容詞用於比較三個或更多名詞，並將名詞的比較達到最高程度。以下是它的結構：
名詞 (主詞)+動詞+the+最高級形容詞+名詞 (受詞)。
大多數最高級形容詞是透過在形容詞後面加上“-est”或在形容詞前面加上“most”來形成的。
| 形容詞 | 最高級 |
|---|---|
| 小 | smallest |
| 寬 | widest |
| strong | strongest |
| happy | happiest |
| intelligent | most intelligent |
| important | most important |
