What is a descriptive adjective? A descriptive adjective is an adjective that modifies a noun or pronoun by describing it or expressing its quality. Where do you include a descriptive adjective in a sentence? Descriptive adjectives can be used either before the nouns or pronouns they modify or can be used as the subject complement of a sentence following a linking verb. Descriptive adjective examples in a sentence The following sentences have examples of descriptive adjectives. You’ll notice that all of these adjectives tell you something about a the qualities or characteristics of a noun or pronoun. Example #1 I don’t like cold weather. (The adjective cold modifies the noun weather. Cold is a descriptive adjective that qualifies the weather by saying it has a low temperature.) Example #2 Her clothes are really expensive. (The adjective expensive modifies the noun clothes. Expensive is a descriptive adjective that tells us the clothes cost a lot of money.) Example #3 We used red, green, and orange paint. (The adjectives red, green, and orange modify the noun paint. All three of these adjectives are descriptive adjectives that say what color the paint was.) Descriptive adjective rules & best practices Grammatically, the most important thing to know about descriptive adjectives is that they come after limiting adjectives in adjective order and after non-descriptive words like articles and numbers. For example, we would say Danny bought some tasty oranges and not Danny bought tasty some oranges. The word some is the limiting adjective, so it precedes the descriptive adjective tasty. As another example, we would say Nicole owns a big dog and not Nicole owns big a dog. The article a precedes the descriptive adjective big. USE ADJECTIVES AFTER LINKING VERBS- QUIZ 1.

What are Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors? Primary Colors Secondary Colors Tertiary Colors Three Primary Colors (Ps): Red, Yellow, Blue Primary colors are the building blocks of all the other colors on the spectrum. While what the primary colors are can change depending on what medium you choose to approach them from (color printing’s primary colors differ from those of the light spectrum, for example), this will focus on the traditional primaries as they are presented in art and color theory. Those colors are: red, yellow, and blue. Three Secondary Colors (S’): Orange, Green, Violet Secondary colors are made by mixing together two primary colors. Secondary colors are achieved specifically using equal parts of primary colors, as well, meaning you must have just as much of one color as the other to achieve the true look of a secondary color. As with primary colors, these will change depending on how you approach them, but this will cover color theory for consistency. Using this model, we find green (a combination of blue and yellow), orange (a combination of yellow and red), and purple (a combination of blue and red). Six Tertiary Colors (Ts): Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, Red-Violet, which are formed by mixing a primary with a secondary Tertiary colors come about when mixing a primary and a secondary color, opening up many different shades of a particular color. Essentially, this means that one primary color is featured in greater amounts than another in a mixture of colors. There are six major tertiary colors with many variations on each. These six are: Vermilion (orange combined with red), magenta (red combined with purple), violet (purple combined with blue), teal (blue combined with green), chartreuse (green combined with yellow), and amber (yellow combined with orange). As with the other two categories, the exact colors will change depending on which set of primary colors you approach. Black and White Black and white are special colors that cannot be made through traditional means. In light, black would indicate a lack of light (i.e. no colors on the light spectrum are present) while white would indicate all three primary colors of red light, blue light, and green light are overlapping, essentially being a combination of all visible colored light. This does not work the same with traditional primary colors, though, as combining all colors equally will only result in a brownish color, while it is impossible to attain a pure white through color mixing. The world of colors is fascinating with many hidden depths yet to be discovered. Through understanding primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, we can create new forms of expression and better recognize details of the surrounding world. There’s much more about colors that we’ve yet to explore, though, as different viewing mediums and associations can drastically change how colors are viewed and interpreted. |
