位置与功能

形容词指用来修饰名词或某些代词，表示人或事物的性质、特征或状态的词，在句中作定语, 表语, 宾语补足语等。形容词可分为描述性的和表述性的A:

 1. 在名词前做定语，为最常见用法。请注意多个形容词（含其它起形容词作用的词）做前置定语的顺序。"县官行令杀国才。"这一句就概述了形容词顺序问题。即：

　　限（冠词[物主代词、指示代词]数词等）观 （描绘） 形（大小、形状等） 龄 （年龄、新旧等）色（色彩）国（国籍、出处等）材（材料、功用等）

　　an interesting English film a heavy black Chinese silk umbrella

　　做后置定语。修饰由不定代词no ,any, some ，every和one,thing等构成的复合词或形容词短语。

Something important, nothing special…

2．表语。一定要注意系动词的后面只跟形容词出现情况。这是一个热点问题。

  常见系动词有：be   变化系词： become, get ,turn, grow, go

　保持系词： keep ,remain, stay感观系词： look, smell , taste, feel, sound,appear , seem ,prove etc.

N：①某些以a 开始的形容词只做表语，不做定语。

　　be afraid, alike, alone, asleep ,awake，alive  He feels lonely, he lives along.

　　②某些表状况的形容词只能做表语,不做定语

　　well(身体健康),ill ,afraid,  而sick, frighten, living, waking, sleepy+ person,只作定语

S:  某些以-ly 结尾的词是形容词而不是副词。

　　friendly, lively, lovely, lonely, weekly, monthly…等。

　　复合形容词的形式问题。

　　an 800-meter-wide river an English-speaking country a middle-aged man

　　副词是用来说明动词的，或用来修饰形容词或副词的，修饰动词的副词一般放在动词之后。副词用来说明时间、地点或方式等，副词在句中一般可用作状语、表语或宾语补足语等。位置

　　1）时间副词和地点副词一般放于句尾。如同时出现，则地点副词在前。

　　They went boating in Zhongshan Park yesterday.

　　2)表频率的时间副词是热点

　　always, seldom, often, never, rarely, usually 等，通常放于行为动词之前，be词、情态动词和助动词之 后。  He is always telling lies,so I will never believe him.

　　3)程度副词一般放在被修饰词之前 very, hardly, far, much, quite, rather, too, so, pretty（但 enough除外）He is very young ,so he is not old enough to go to school.

　　N: 形容词和副词同行： fast, early, late, hard, high …

有些副词有两种形式，一个与形容词同形，一个以ly 结尾，但它们的含义是不同的。

　　closely-close nearly-near freely-free deeply-deep highly-high widely-wide 等。
