Pseudo-Adjectives
There are some adjectives which look like they should follow the rules from the previous page, but they don’t.
The most often-used of these pseudo-adjectives
(“fake” adjectives) is
![]()
![]()
(pretty, beautiful). Another
pseudo-adjective is ![]()
![]()
(quiet).
When these adjectives directly modify a noun, you
use the particle
:
![]()
