Attributive and Predicative Adjectives
Read the following sentences loudly!

 The old man is starring at the blue sea.

 He bought two brown balls.

 She had a beautiful smile.

 Tina wears her new dress.

 Her smile is beautiful.

Adjectives in the first position - before the noun - are called ATTRIBUTIVE
adjective. Those in the second position - after the noun - are called
PREDICATIVE adjectives. Notice that predicative adjectives do not occur
immediately after the noun.

(*Exercise 2 : find the attributive and predicative adjective)

Attributive only
There are some adjectives which can only be used before a noun, in the attributive
position. For instance, we talk about the main problem but cannot say, the problem was main.

Adjectives which occur only in the attributive position are generally those which identify
something as being of a particular type. For instance, we can talk about a financial decision
where financial distinguishes this from other types of decision, e.g.: medical, political. These
groups of adjectives are often referred to as classifying adjectives.

For example:

• This is the main reason.

* This reason is main. (ungrammatical)
• This is the former president.
* This president is former. (ungrammatical)

 A chemical reaction. (Not, a reaction which was/is chemical)

 The phonetic alphabet (Not, the alphabet is phonetic)
 It was an indoor pool. (Not, the pool was indoor)
 Predicative only
There are some adjectives which only usually occur in the predicative position, as
complements of be or other link verbs. For instance, you can say “He felt glad”, but wouldn’t
normally talk about a glad person.

Adjectives which usually occur in the predicative position include those which describe
feelings, such as

 afraid
 glad
 ready
 sure
 sorry
 upset

Example:

 She felt afraid. (but not, an afraid girl)

 My daughter is upset. (but not, my upset

daughter)

They also include a group of adjectives with prefix a-, such as:

 Asleep
 Alive
 Alone
 Ashamed
 Awake
 Aware

Example:

 I like being alone. (But not, I like being an alone person)

 The baby’s asleep. (But not, the asleep baby)
