Adjectives of quality in English

Quality adjectives definition

Quality adjectives are used to provide supplementary information about a noun or a subject. They are placed right before the noun they are helping to describe with the exception when the verb 'to be' is used. They can be positive and negative ones. 

As they qualify a noun the list of adjectives in this category is very extensive, thus we will present you only the most commonly used ones.

Quality adjectives examples

• My new equipment is amazing! 
• Did your old game break?
• Your game is fun.
• This book is boring.

Adjective "Like"

We use "like" with adjectives to describe an appearance. When used in that way in a sentence it means similar, related, alike, resembling. The correct structure would be verbs + "like" + noun/pronoun. 

Example

• She looks like her mother very much. 
• Do I look like I need help?
