一、形容词两功能，一作“定”二作“表”。

[例句]This is a new bag. (new作定语)

This bag is new.(new作表语)

名词之前必作定，“性质，特征，状态”表。

二、形容词用以修饰名词或置于代词one, ones前面。表示人或事物的特征等。

[例句]This is an old picture. (old修饰名词，放在所修饰的名词前面）

Could I have a full one, please?(修饰代词，置于代词前面)

三、系动词后是表语，构成“主系表”。

形容词常和be动词或连系动词(look/feel/sound等)连用，作表语，构成“主系表”结构，即“主语+系动词+表语”，说明主语是什么或怎么样，即说明主语的特性。

[例句]Mrs. Gao is young./Mrs. Gao looks young.

四、单独使用见口语，程度可用too/very。

形容词有时也可单独使用，此时多见于口语中。有时形容词前加very,too, quite等副词修饰，表示程度。

[例句]——How are you? ——Fine./Im very well. Thank you.

The box is too heavy. We cant carry it.

五、遇到“不定”往后站，特殊用法记心间。

形容词作定语一般放在被修饰词之前，但在修饰something, anything, nothing等不定代词时，要放在这些词之后。

[例句]I have something important to do.
