If a group of words containing a subject and verb acts as an adjective, it is called an Adjective Clause. My sister, who is much older than I am, is an engineer.
한단어로 된 형용사 말고도 구나 절도 형용사역할이면 '형용사 상당어'라 하고
구로는 분사구, 부정사구, 전치사구 및 형용사구가 있고
접속사로 이끌린 동사를 포함한 여러 단어가 모인 절도 명사인 사람이나 물건들을 설명하는데
이 경우 형용사 절/관계사절이라 하고 수식받는 명사 뒤에 위치합니다
우리말은 "나보다 한참 나이많은 내 누나" 라 하여 누나를 설명하는 내용이 명사인 누나 앞에만 쓰이나
영어는 명사인 my sister 뒤에 쓰인다는 점에서 우리말과 순서가 반대 입니다
If an adjective clause is stripped of its subject and verb, the resulting modifier becomes an Adjective Phrase: He is the man who is keeping my family in the poorhouse.
진행형의 형절에서 접속사와 be 동사를 제하면 형역 분사구가 됩니다
Before getting into other usage considerations, one general note about the use — or over-use — of adjectives: Adjectives are frail; don't ask them to do more work than they should. Let your broad-shouldered verbs and nouns do the hard work of description. Be particularly cautious in your use of adjectives that don't have much to say in the first place: interesting, beautiful, lovely, exciting. It is your job as a writer to create beauty and excitement and interest, and when you simply insist on its presence without showing it to your reader — well, you're convincing no one.
영작시 지나치게 형용사를 많이 쓰면 문장이 피곤하게 되니 절제하여 쓰고
그 대신 명사나 동사에 비중을 두어 쓰면 좋다 합니다
Consider the uses of modifiers in this adjectivally rich paragraph from Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel. (Charles Scribner's, 1929, p. 69.) Adjectives are highlighted in this color; participles, verb forms acting as adjectives, are highlighted in this blue. Some people would argue that words that are part of a name — like "East India Tea House — are not really adjectival and that possessive nouns — father's, farmer's — are not technically adjectives, but we've included them in our analysis of Wolfe's text.
복합명사를 명사로 보던지 앞에온 명사를 형용사 기능으로 봐도 되고 소유격은 형용사 기능으로 봅니다
아래 글에서 형용사나 그 상당어를 찾아 봅시다
관사는 이미 형용사로 알기에 줄치는거 생략합니다
형용사는 보어 경우만 빼고 전부 명사 앞과 뒤에 위치하여 명사를 수식합니다
He remembered yet the East India Tea House at the Fair, the sandalwood, the turbans, and the robes, the cool interior and the smell of India tea; <br />and he had felt now the nostalgic thrill of dew-wet mornings in Spring, the cherry scent, the cool clarion earth, the wet loaminess of the garden, the pungent breakfast smells and the floating snow of blossoms. <br /><br />He knew the inchoate sharp excitement of hot dandelions in young earth; in July, of watermelons bedded in sweet hay, inside a farmer's covere<font color="#FF0000">d</font> wagon; of cantaloupe and crated peaches; <br />and the scent of orange rind, bitter-sweet, before a fire of coals. He knew the good male smell of his father's sitting-room; <br />of the smooth worn leather sofa, with the gaping horse-hair rent; <br />of the blistered varnished wood upon the hearth; of the heated calf-skin bindings; <br />of the flat moist plug of apple tobacco, stuck with a red flag; <br />of wood-smoke and burnt leaves in October; of the brown tired autumn earth; <br />of honey-suckle at night; <br />of warm nasturtiums, of a clean ruddy farmer who comes weekly with printed butter, eggs, and milk;<br /> of fat limp underdone bacon and of coffee; of a bakery-oven in the wind; <br />of large deep-hued string beans smoking-hot and seasoned well with salt and butter; of a room of old pine boards in which books and carpets have been stored, long closed; <br />of Concord grapes in their long white baskets.
An abundance of adjectives like this would be uncommon in contemporary prose. Whether we have lost something or not is left up to you.
Unlike Adverbs, which often seem capable of popping up almost anywhere in a sentence, adjectives nearly always appear immediately before the noun or noun phrase that they modify. Sometimes they appear in a string of adjectives, and when they do, they appear in a set order according to category. (See Below.)
ㄱ. 명사 전/후에만 위치함
문장에서 부사의 위치는 문두, 문중 및 문미로 자유로우나
형용사는 명사 앞이나 뒤로 위치가 고정되어 있습니다
일반적으로 한두단어로 된 형용사는 명사 앞에 위치하지만
부정대명사를 수식하는 형용사는 그 대명사 뒤에만 위치합니다; something horrible
a life /without meaning 형 + 명 + 형역전구
a life /devoid of meaning 형 + 명 + 형 + 부역전구
a meaningless life 형 + 형 + 명
When indefinite pronouns — such as something, someone, anybody — are modified by an adjective, the adjective comes after the pronoun:
Anyone capable of doing something horrible to someone nice should be punished. <br />Something wicked this way comes.
And there are certain adjectives that, in combination with certain words, are always "postpositive"
(coming after the thing they modify):
ㄴ. 후치수식 형용사
어떤 형용사는 명사 뒤에만 쓰입니다
The president elect, heir apparent to the Glitzy fortune, lives in New York proper. (=strictly so called)
See, also, the note on a- adjectives, below, for the position of such words as "ablaze, aloof, aghast."
ㄷ. 어순도치
so + 형용사 구조상 소속된 명사구 앞에 형용사가 쓰임
Why is He so present a commander in our time of prosperity and so very absent a help in time of trouble?
present a commander in our time of prosperity = a commander present in our time of prosperity
very absent a help in time of trouble = a help very absent in time of trouble
Adjectives can express degrees of modification:
형용사도 부사처럼 비교급이 있으나
부사와 다른점은 역시 명사를 수식한다는 점입니다
Certain adjectives have irregular forms in the comparative and superlative degrees:
good - better - best
bad - worse - worst
little - less - least
much/many/some - more - most
Be careful not to form comparatives or superlatives of adjectives which already express an extreme of comparison — unique, for instance — although it probably is possible to form comparative forms of most adjectives: something can be more perfect, and someone can have a fuller figure. People who argue that one woman cannot be more pregnant than another have never been nine-months pregnant with twins.
이미 최상의 상태를 설명하는 형용사는 비교급으로 만들 필요가 없습니다
According to Bryan Garner, "complete" is one of those adjectives that does not admit of comparative degrees. We could say, however, "more nearly
complete." I am sure that I have not been consistent in my application
of this principle in the Guide (I can hear myself, now, saying something
like "less adequate" or "more preferable" or "less fatal"). Other
adjectives that Garner would include in this list are as follows:
비교급이 필요없는 형용사 종류
absolute | impossible | principal |
adequate | inevitable | stationary |
chief | irrevocable | sufficient |
complete | main | unanimous |
devoid | manifest | unavoidable |
entire | minor | unbroken |
fatal | paramount | unique |
final | perpetual | universal |
ideal | preferable | whole |

Be careful, also, not to use more along with a comparative adjective formed with -er nor to use most along with a superlative adjective formed with -est (e.g., do not write that something is more heavier or most heaviest).
The as — as construction is used to create a comparison expressing equality:
as ~ as 비교는 우위가 아닌 대등비교입니다
Both
adverbs and adjectives in their comparative and superlative forms can
be accompanied by premodifiers,
single words and phrases, that intensify the degree.
a lot 은 명사처럼 보이지만 실상은 형용사를 강조하는 부사역할로 봅니다
The same process can be used to downplay the degree:
강조아닌 약화의 경우도 있습니다
And sometimes a set phrase, usually an informal noun phrase, is used for this purpose:
명사구로 보이지만 강조역할의 부역일 수도 있습니다
If the intensifier very accompanies the superlative, a determiner is also required:
강조부사인 very 는 최상급에 붙기도 합니다
Occasionally, the comparative or superlative form appears with a determiner
and the thing being modified is understood:
the + 최상급 형태로 다른 단어도 수식합니다

It would take a linguistic philosopher to explain why we say "little brown house" and not "brown little house" or why we say "red Italian sports car" and not "Italian red sports car." The order in which adjectives in a series sort themselves out is perplexing for people learning English as a second language. Most other languages dictate a similar order, but not necessarily the same order. It takes a lot of practice with a language before this order becomes instinctive, because the order often seems quite arbitrary (if not downright capricious). There is, however, a pattern. You will find many exceptions to the pattern in the table below, but it is definitely important to learn the pattern of adjective order if it is not part of what you naturally bring to the language.
The categories in the following table can be described as follows:

It
would be folly, of course, to run more than two or three (at the most)
adjectives together. Furthermore, when adjectives belong to the same
class, they become what we call coordinated adjectives, and you will
want to put a comma between them: the inexpensive, comfortable shoes.
The rule for inserting the comma works this way:
if you could have inserted a conjunction — and or but — between the two adjectives, use a comma. We could say these are "inexpensive but comfortable shoes," so we would use a comma between them (when the "but" isn't there).
When you have three coordinated adjectives, separate them all with commas, but don't insert a comma between the last adjective and the noun (in spite of the temptation to do so because you often pause there):
원어민의 잘 쓴 글이야 이미 순서대로 잘 되어 있으니 그런식으로 온다는걸 보고 배우기만 하면 되고요

When
an adjective owes its origins to a proper noun, it should probably be
capitalized. Thus we write about Christian music, French fries, the
English Parliament, the Ming Dynasty, a Faulknerian style, Jeffersonian
democracy.
Some periods of time have taken on the status of proper adjectives: the Nixon era, a Renaissance/Romantic/Victorian poet (but a contemporary novelist and medieval writer). Directional and seasonal adjectives are not capitalized unless they're part of a title:
고유명사에서 유래한 형용사는 대문자로 시작합니다
We took the northwest route during the spring thaw. We stayed there until the town's annual Fall Festival of Small Appliances.
Dodo is a Korean Island. (not Korea Island)
See the section on Capitalization for further help on this matter.
When the definite article, the, is combined with an adjective describing a class or group of people, the resulting phrase can act as a noun: the poor, the rich, the oppressed, the homeless, the lonely, the unlettered, the unwashed, the gathered, the dear departed. The difference between a Collective Noun (which is usually regarded as singular but which can be plural in certain contexts) and a collective adjective is that the latter is always plural and requires a plural verb:
the poor = those who are poor 가난한 사람들
반댓말은 사전 찾아보면 다 나옵니다
The
opposite or the negative aspect of an adjective can be formed in a
number of ways. One way, of course, is to find an adjective to mean the
opposite — an antonym. The opposite of beautiful is ugly, the opposite of tall is short.
A thesaurus can help you find an appropriate opposite. Another way to
form the opposite of an adjective is with a number of prefixes.
The opposite of fortunate is unfortunate, the opposite of prudent is imprudent, the opposite of considerate is inconsiderate, the opposite of honorable is dishonorable, the opposite of alcoholic is nonalcoholic, the opposite of being properly filed is misfiled.
If
you are not sure of the spelling of adjectives modified in this way by
prefixes (or which is the appropriate prefix), you will have to consult a
dictionary, as the rules for the selection of a prefix are complex and
too shifty to be trusted. The meaning itself can be tricky; for
instance, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.
A third means for creating the opposite of an adjective is to combine it with less or least
to create a comparison which points in the opposite direction.
Interesting shades of meaning and tone become available with this usage.
It is kinder to say that "This is the least beautiful city in the
state." than it is to say that "This is the ugliest city in the state."
(It also has a slightly different meaning.) A candidate for a job can
still be worthy and yet be "less worthy of consideration" than another candidate.
It's probably not a good idea to use this construction with an adjective that is already a negative: "He is less unlucky than his brother," although that is not the same thing as saying he is luckier than his brother. Use the comparative less when the comparison is between two things or people; use the superlative least when the comparison is among many things or people.
less or least 를 써서 반댓말을 만들기도 합니다
Review the section on Compound Nouns and Modifiers
for the formation of modifiers created when words are connected: a
four-year-old child, a nineteenth-century novel, an empty-headed fool.

소유격과 형용사의 차이
분사형용사
Adjectives that are really Participles, verb forms with -ing and -ed endings, can be troublesome for some students.
It is one thing to be a frightened child; it is an altogether different matter to be a frightening child.
Do you want to go up to your professor after class and say that you are confused or that you are confusing?
*frightened child 놀란 아이 (놀람을 받은 아이)
frightening child 놀라게 하는 아이 (놀람을 주는 아이)
현분사는 능동적인 의미, 과분사는 수동적인 의미가 있습니다
Generally, the -ed ending means that the noun so described ("you") has a passive relationship with something — something (the subject matter, the presentation) has bewildered you and you are confused.
과분사 형용사는 수동적인 관계를 설명하므로 형용사는 상태설명이므로
you are confused . 하면 혼란을 당한 처지거나 혼란된 감정을 받은 상태로 이해합니다
cf. You are confusing. 니가 능동적으로 혼란을 유발하는/주는 상태다
The -ing ending means that the noun described has a more active role 능동적인 역할
— you are not making any sense so you are confusing (to others, including your professor).
현분사 형용사는 능동적인 의미가 있으므로
현분사의 수식을 받는 명사가 현분사의 동작을 한다는 의미라
you are confusing 하면 너라는 사람이 혼란을 야기하는 상태라 '당신이 혼란스럽게 합니다'로 됩니다
The -ed ending modifiers are often accompanied by prepositions (these are not the only choices):
분사-형용사의 경우
현재분사를 쓰면 주어가 능동적으로 분사-형용사의 상태를 만드는것이고
과분사를 쓰면 주어가 수동적으로 과분사의 상태로 되는 차이가 있습니다
즉 You are confusing 하면 당신이 능동적으로 혼란스런 상태를야기한다는 것이고
You are confused. 하면 당신이 수동적으로 혼란스런 감정을 받은 상태라는 것이죠
The most common of the so-called a- adjectives are ablaze, afloat, afraid, aghast, alert, alike, alive, alone, aloof, ashamed, asleep, averse, awake, aware.
These adjectives will primarily show up as predicate adjectives (i.e., they come after a linking verb).
요런 종류의 형용사들은 주로 주격보어/서술형용사로 많이 쓰이고 한정형용사로는 잘 쓰이지 않습니다
Occasionally, however, you will find a- adjectives before the word they modify: the alert patient, the aloof physician.
Most of them, when found before the word they modify, are themselves modified:
the nearly awake student, the terribly alone scholar.
And a- adjectives are sometimes modified by "very much": very much afraid, very much alone, very much ashamed, etc.
