ORDER OF ADJECTIVES/MODIFIERS: works 90% of the time
opinion, size, age, shape, colour, material, origin, purpose NOUN
Stanley Park, Park Royal
SIDENOTE: We often use nouns to modify nouns.
a new laptop adj
a school laptop noun- modifier, acting like an adjective
a spray bottle noun
a laptop computer
a cell / a mobile - a cellular telephone
ORDER OF ADJECTIVES/MODIFIERS:
opinion, size, age, shape, colour, material, origin, purpose NOUN
Examples:
This is my school book. adj noun acting like an
adjective
What category is school? purpose
This is my old school book. old
This is my boring old school book.
She has a nice diamond ring.
What category are nice and diamond? opinion material
opinion, size, age, shape, colour, material, origin, purpose NOUN
Junko collects ancient Japanese tea sets.
The dog had a cute fluffy tail.
My grandmother broke her gorgeous sky-blue English teapot.
Mariam bought a warm purple wool/woolen sweater.
Ling bought a new wooden spoon.
We had delicious Chinese dimsum.
Marian bought some golden Canadian maple syrup.
You have a clear plastic water bottle.
Mei likes her new blue silk gloves.
Let’s try some. Write a few sentences using 2,3,4 modifiers from
your own imagination.
opinion, size, age, shape, colour, material, origin, purpose NOUN
, commas – two modifiers in the same category use a comma between
e.g.
She went on an exciting European vacation.
She went on an exciting, fascinating vacation.
*This is a detail. Don’t stress about it.
She has a cute, beautiful baby.
She has a cute two-month-old baby.
single adjectives – good for simple ideas
For more complicated ideas- need an
adjective clause S+V
An adjective clause tells us about (describes)
a noun just like an adjective does. Adjective clauses have subject and a verb.
Adjective clauses usually use these three
words: who, that, which.
90% of the time you will be using who, that, which.
There are other
words: whom whose where – not used often
NOTE: ‘whom’ very
rarely used
MY ADVICE: You
pretty much forget about ‘whom’, rarely used
EXCEPTION
Writing a letter-
you don’t know who will be reading it:
For example- Letter
of Reference
USE THIS EXACT
PHRASE
To whom it may
concern,
To whom it might
concern, XXX
To whom concern,
XXX
To concern who is,
XXX
Are you concerning
who is what this, XXX
-a letter/message
in a bottle
DON’T CHANGE IT. It
is a convention.
To whom it may
concern,
WE USE THESE WORDS
MOST OFTEN WITH ADJECTIVE CLAUSES:
*‘who’ - used for
people, all people, sounds polite
* ‘that’ - used for
things, things are not alive, plants, animals,
* ‘which’ is used
for special things (special to you- only you can decide if it’s special or
not), also for unique things (only one- city names, landmarks)
jewelry- bracelet,
necklace, earrings, rings, noserings, bangles
I bought this at/from
the Dollarmart that is on Fraser and 42nd.
I come from Tehran,
which is the biggest city in Iran.
*POINT TO CONSIDER-
POINT OF CONFUSION
‘that’ is multiuse
word in English
‘that’ is used in
many different ways
multi-use word, confusing
Examples
That sandwich was delicious. pronoun
That person is very tall. pronoun
The dog that lives next door is
very cute. adjective clause
The man who lives next door is
very friendly. adjective clause
That waterbottle is leaking. pronoun
The waterbottle that is on the table is
leaking. adj cl
Which waterbottle? on the table

leaking. special

tomorrow. noun clause
The sandwich that she made was very
tasty. adjective clause
I think that that sandwich was
scrumptious. noun clause, pronoun
It is a nice dog. She is a great horse.
The dog that lived next door barked a
lot. adj cl
Crazy example:
She thinks that that sandwich that
you made was so good that she wants to have another one.
confusing, overwritten, grammar is fine
noun clause, pronoun, adjective cl, adverb cl
That guy is really tall. pronoun
We saw a giraffe that
had a really long neck. adjective clause
Adjective clause-
The new earrings that you got for Xmas are nice.
The new earrings which
you got for Xmas are nice. special

information, 2 clauses in the sentence

MORE DETAILED LEVEL:
Using commas with
adjective clauses:
A. Mei’s sister who is a nurse
lives in Burnaby.

Same meaning? Slightly
different meaning. What is the difference.
