定义：形容词是用来修饰名词的词，描述名词的性质、外观、特点等。
功能：形容词可以做定语、表语或补助语。
分类：主要分为两类：描绘性形容词和限定性形容词。
● 描绘性形容词主要用来描绘大、小、新旧、颜色、质量等。
● 限定性形容词主要用来限定所修饰词的数量、距离及范围所属等。
1．当形容词修饰单数可数名词时，必须与冠词连用：
a lovely girl, the naughty boy
2．形容词可与系动词连用，做表语，说明主语的性状。常用系动词有：be，become，seem，appear，feel，look，taste，smell，sound，remain，go，turn，keep，stay, etc.
The dish tastes delicious.
The music sounds sweet.
The milk went bad.
小心陷阱 feel，smell，taste，look，keep有时可以用作实义动词，并可以用副词修饰。
He looked me up and down carefully.
I tasted the soup slowly to see whether it was salty.
3．形容词用作后置定语。（简单理解：一般的形容词修饰名词时放在名词前面，但有些形容词修饰名词时放在名词的后面）
a river navigable（一条可通航的河）
sight visible可见的景象
person responsible（负责人）注意：responsible person（有责任心的人）
the best way possible（尽可能好的办法）
the number necessary（必要的数量）
the people present（在场的人）
4．只能作表语的形容词
1．某些表示健康状况的形容词。
well（身体好的），ill（病的），faint（虚弱的），poorly（身体不好的）
示例：His mother has been ill for a long time.
特别注意：sick是个特例。它既可做表语，又可做定语。
He is sick for a couple of days.（他病两三天了）
He is a sick person.（他是个病人。）
2．某些以 a-开头的形容词。
如：afraid（害怕的），alone（独自的），alive（活着的），asleep（睡着的），awake（醒 着的），aware（意识到的）
The old man is alone in the house.（老人一个人在家。）
The teacher is alive with enthusiasm.（这位老师热情洋溢。）
He is asleep in his mother's arms.（他在母亲的怀抱中睡着了。）
I have been aware of the difficulty.（我已经意识到了困难。）
5．当一系列形容词修饰名词时，须注意排列顺序：代明形容词 + 数量形容词 + 性状 形容词 + 名词。（下图看起来费劲，看透了绝对实用）
