形容词的排列顺序

以下是小编整理的形容词的排列顺序，希望对大家英语学习有所帮助。

　　形容词的位置关系

有时候我们用一个以上形容词来修饰名词：

He was a nice intelligentyoung man.

She had a small round black wooden box.

有些形容词给了一个大体的描述。我们可以用这些形容词来描述几乎所有名词：

有些形容词给了一个特殊的含义。我们只用这些形容词来描述特定的名词：

Food: tasty; delicious

Furniture, buildings: comfortable; uncomfortable

People, animals: clever; intelligent; friendly

我们经常在特殊概念前用一个普遍的概念：

Nice tasty soup.

A nasty uncomfortable armchair

A lovely intelligent animal

Usually we put an adjective that gives an opinion in front of an adjective that is descriptive:

通常我们放一个描述性形容词在某个被描述的形容词前面

a nice red dress; a silly old man; those horribleyellow curtains

We often have two adjectives in front of a noun:

我们经常将两个形容词放在一个名词前面：

a handsome young man; a big black car; that horrible big dog

Sometimes we have three adjectives, but this is unusual:

有时候会用到三个形容词，但这是不太寻常的：

a nice handsome young man;

a big black American car;

that horrible big fierce dog

It is very unusual to have more than three adjectives.

Adjectives usually come in this order:

在英语中，当名词有多个形容词修饰时，就有它们的先后顺序。下面的口诀可帮你记住这一先后顺序，也是解题的关键。

限定描绘大长高，形状年龄和新老;颜色国籍跟材料，作用类别往后靠;

其中，“限定词”包括：冠词、物主代词、指示代词、或数词，它位于各类形容词前。它本身分为三位，即：前、中、后。前位限定词有all、half、both、分数和倍数;中位限定词有冠词、指示代词、物主代词等;后位限定词有基数词和序数词，但序数词位于基数词前。如:both my hands、all half his income等。“描绘”性形容词如：beautiful、bad、cold、great等。“大长高”表示大小、长短、高低等一些词。表示“形状”的词如：round square等。“国籍”指一个国家或地区的词。“材料”的词如：wooden, woolen, stone,silk等。“作用类别”的词如：medical, college，writing desk，police car等。

有些形容词只用在系动词后面：

一些最普通的以-ed结尾的形容词通常只用在系动词后面：

annoyed; finished; bored; pleased; thrilled

For example：Our teacher was ill.

My uncle was very glad when he heard the news.

The policeman seemed to be very annoyed

　　但我们不说：

We had an ill teacher.

When he heard the news he was a very glad uncle

He seemed to be a very annoyed policeman

有些形容词只用在名词前面：

　　我们可以说：

He lives in the eastern district.

There were countless problems with the new machinery.

　　但是不能说成：

The district he lives in is eastern

The problems with the new machinery were countless.
