Comentários

• Most adjectives can be used in two positions. When they are used before the noun they describe, they are called attributive:

  a black cat

  a gloomy outlook

  a slow journey

  a large suitcase

   

  When they are used after a verb such as be, become, grow, look, or seem, they’re called predicative:

  The cat was black.

  The future looks gloomy.

  The journey seemed slow.

  They were growing tired.
