Example of Explanatory Adjectives

The Explanatory adjectives highlight the qualities that nouns express by themselves, either abstract or concrete and are most commonly used in literary language.

The Explanatory adjectives are usually placed before the noun and provide a descriptive value that is not necessary within the context of the sentence, since they function only as an aesthetic complement to the noun, so they can be removed from the sentence without losing its meaning.

The Explanatory adjectives highlight the obvious qualities of the noun and they should not be confused with the specifying adjectives that express a quality of the noun that distinguishes it from the others of its class.
