一说:形容词两功能,一作"定"二作"表"。

　　【例句】This is a new bag. (new作定语)

　　This bag is new. (new作表语)

　　二说:名代之前必作定, "性质。特征。状态"表。

　　形容词用以修饰名词或置于代词one, ones前面。表示人或事物的特征等。

　　【例句】This is an old picture. (old修饰名词,放在所修饰的名词前面)

　　Could I have a full one, please? (修饰代词,置于代词前面)

　　三说:系动词后是表语,构成结构"主系表"。

　　形容词常和be动词或连系动词(look / feel / sound等)连用,作表语,构成"主系表"结构,即"主语+系动词+谓语",说明主语是什么或怎么样,即说明主语的特性。

　　【例句】Mrs. Gao is young. / Mrs. Gao looks young.

　　四说:单独使用见口语,程度可用too / very。

　　形容词有时也可单独使用,此时多见于口语中。形容词要表示程度加深,意为"太……,很……,十分……"等。形容词前可加very, too, quite等程度副词修饰,表示程度。

　　【例句】-How are you? -Fine. / I'm very well. Thank you.

　　The box is too heavy. We can't carry it.

　　五说:遇到"不定"往后站,特殊用法记心间。

　　形容词作定语一般放在被修饰词之前,但在修饰something, anything, nothing等不定代词时,要放在这些词之后。

　　【例句】I have something important to do.
