形容詞
形容詞和副詞都是修飾語。修飾語雖然不是構成句子的必要元素,但它可以使文句更加生動、豐富
形容詞是用來修飾「名詞」或「代名詞」
副詞則是用來修飾「動詞」、「形容詞」或其他「副詞」
形容詞的位置
1. 出現在名詞前方: (冠詞)+(副詞)+形容詞+名詞
Travelers will receive the final confirmation for their trip on Monday.
The surprisingly suspenseful film has proven popular with moviegoers.
✮ 形容詞也有可能出現在複合名詞前方: 形容詞+複合名詞(名詞+名詞)
John was praise for his incredible job performance during the campaign.
2. 出現在be動詞後方: be +形容詞
It is necessary to finish the project on time.
3. 出現在名詞後方 (較少見): 名詞+形容詞
The bank makes every effort possible to ensure the safety of the cashiers.
I bought something interesting on the way back.
✮ 有時形容詞不會緊鄰它修飾的名詞
Listening to live music is fascinating.
Taking a trip to Tainan sounds interesting.
例題
Commercial banks are advised to take _____ action to deal with the serious currency shortfall.
(A) directness (B) direction (C) directly (D) direct
解析:
空格處因為在名詞(action)前方,所以有可能是 1.名詞(組成複合名詞) 或是 2. 形容詞(修飾action),所以(C)絕對不是答案。
再來英文中沒有 "directness action" 也沒有 "direction action"這兩個複合名詞,所以也不是答案。
所以答案是 (D),「採取直接的措施」
