🔘Adjectives📌

🔗1. An adjective is a word like clever, beautiful, green, hungry, brave, which is used when we describe people, things, events etc. Adjectives are used in connection with nouns and pronouns.

📝 Examples
He wore a red shirt.
We need some square tables.
Each hand has five fingers.
You are naughty.
She is a beautiful girl.
He is an honest boy.
This is a wooden chair.
She wore a gold necklace.
It was an earthen pot.
Sugar is sweet.

▪Position of adjectives

🔗2. Most adjectives can go in two main positions in a sentence:
a) before a noun (attributive position)

📝 Examples
Our new principal is an old lady.
He is a clever boy.

b) after be, seem, look and other copular verbs (predicative position)

📝 Examples
I am glad to meet you.
You don't look happy to see me.
The milk turned sour.
She felt bad.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 🔴🎵⚜PRONUNCIATION ⚜🎵🔴

Ego can be a source of motivation, but then, ego is a very poor motivator. By it's very nature , ego needs feeding, and hence, it makes you a perpetual beggar. The problem with ego is that when it is fed, you struggle out of superiority complex, when ego is starved, you suffer out of inferiority complex. Either way it robs you of your peace of mind.

When you transcend ego, you just want to win over yourself; you want to make the most of your potential. There is enormous freedom in letting your ego go."

📚🎵🔴🎶📚
Let's pronounce the tricky words then :
⚜Perpetual
⚜Superiority
⚜Inferiority

Miscellaneous Example

🗂Misuse of noun/ verb homonyms .

❌Don’t say : Becky played a good play of chess.
✅ Say : Becky played a good game of chess.
➖➿➖➿➖➿➖➿

⭐️ Some verbs and nouns do have the same from and analogous meaning in English:

⛳️The police fight a hard fight.
⛳️Heather dreams long vivid dreams .
⛳️If you lie the lie will catch you out.

However, we seldom use the same word like this. Usually we try to avoid it in some way;

⛳️ She fought a long battle with them.
⛳️ If you lie you will be caught out.
