Identifying the Position of Adjectives Part 3

An adjective is a word that tells about a noun. It answers the questions what kind or how many.
 

The small baby smiled. (what kind)

She carried some books. (how many)
 

Adjectives in the first position - before the noun - are called attributive adjectives.
 

He is a fantastic football player.
 

Those in the second position - after the noun - are called predicative adjectives. Notice that predicative adjectives do not occur immediately after the noun. Instead, they follow a verb.
 

The room looked dark and gloomy.
