70 Examples of Qualifying Adjectives in English

Qualifying Adjectives

The adjectives are those that attribute to a specific noun some type of properties or that account for some of its conditions. Unlike Spanish and other languages, adjectives in English must always occupy a position prior to noun in the sentence, because otherwise the link between the two would not be understood. The only exception to this occurs before copulative verbs What to be (to be / be), since they serve precisely to attribute conditions to the subject of the sentence.

The properties described by a qualifying adjective can be really diverse, ranging from feelings, appearance, shape, temperature, climate or even subjective position of the speaker regarding what referred.
