Transformations of English nouns in adjectives

Transformations of English nouns in adjectives
As in every language and English, many words are derived from others, and when you encounter them in text, you can easily navigate the meaning if you know the word they come from. Today we will present some of the main lines for these transformations. 

Let's remember the grammar.

Before we begin with the explanations, let us remember some of the main parts of speech. We will not describe their full characteristics, but it is important to know what role they play so that we can explain more easily and the ways that change to change their meaning:
  1. A verb means an action or process performed or tolerated by an object or person. 
  2. Noun - it names an object, phenomenon, face, animal, plant and more. 
  3. Adjective - refers (applies) to any noun or pronoun and less common to another adjective in order to clarify its quality, origin and possession. 
  4. A name - explains the verb. The adverb specifies the way, place and time of action. The adverb answers the questions. 

Converting from noun to adjective

Most often this happens by adding different settings, here are the most popular:
  • y - means quality or likeness
    • Fun – funny
    • Smell – smelly
    • Taste – tasty
  • Less - indicates lack of quality
    • use – useless
    • help – hlepless
  • full - indicates quality

  • ish - meaning national belonging
    • England – English

Forming Adjectives From a verb

  • can - shows the possibility to perform or bear the action
    • change – changeable
    • love – lovable
  • ing - indicates the presence of a certain quality
    • annoy - annoying
    • breathe - breathing

Adjective adjective formation

The process here is easy and you should not even try to remember much, because there is only one attachment through which the transformation becomes -ly:
  • Tasty – tastily
  • Funny – funnily
We know that the main purpose of language is to express the actions, relationships and interactions in which the subject and objects are present or present around them as well as to describe the qualities they possess. Or, more simply, describe the way we, other people or objects influence and interact with each other. And to make this description complete, we need all parts of the speech. When a person speaks his native language, he is well - oriented, which word to use even without realizing whether it is a verb, an adjective, etc. However, when we learn a new language, it is good to make a clearer assessment of this, at least until we turn it into automation. And when you know the rules of word formation, it will certainly help you to enrich your speech quickly without being bothered to learn by heart a bunch of new words.  Linguistic School teachers English study. We hope that our brief lesson has been useful to you, but remember that as in every language and here there are exceptions from some rules.
