1、形容词：用来说明或修饰名词、代词的词称为形容词。

1、形容词的句法作用：作句子中名词的定语、句子的表语以及宾语补足语。 2、形容词在句子中的位置：

?作定语时放在名词的前面,且音节少的词放在音节多的词之前。如：a big yellow wooden wheel(一个黄色的大木轮)

?作表语时放在连系动词之后。如：The price sounds reasonable.(这个价格听起来算是合理)

①修饰复合不定代词时放在代词之后。如：Something serious has happened to him.(他发生了严重的事故) ②与表示“长、宽、高、重、老、远离”的词连用时形容词后置。如：He‘s 1.8 metres tall.(他身高1.8米。)The moon is about 380,000 kilometres away from the earth.(月球离地38万公里)

3、有关形容词的用法辨析：

? whole与all：记住两个词序：① the whole + 名词； ②all (of) the + 名词。如：He was busy the whole morning.(整个早晨他都很忙) / He can remember all the words he learns.(他能记住学过的所有单词)
