ORDER OF ADJECTIVES/MODIFIERS: works 90% of the time

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.

What category are nice and diamond? opinion material

Ling bought a new wooden spoon.

Marian bought some golden Canadian maple syrup.

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 a 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
That waterbottle is leaking. pronoun
The waterbottle that is on the table is
leaking. adj cl
She said that she would bring ice cream
today. noun clause

tomorrow. noun clause
The sandwich that she made was very
tasty. adjective clause
I think that that sandwich was
scrumptious. noun clause, pronoun
She wants to buy a phone.
She wants to buy the phone.
She wants to buy that phone.
this phone
that phone
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
