 Understanding the Lesson

Concept and Definition

A predicate adjective is one of many different types of adjectives. Basically, predicate adjectives modify the subject of the
sentence. Simple enough, right? The only other thing to note is that these adjectives are always connected to the subject by
a linking verb.

Concept and Definition

An attributive adjective is an adjective that usually comes before the noun it modifies without a linking verb. Contrast with a
predicative adjective. Attributive adjectives are direct modifiers of nominals

Examples:
1 Andy's sports car is Italian.
2. All the kittens are asleep.
3. He was carrying a big box.
4. An electrician has a difficult job.
