Question

An adjective phrase can only be attributive.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

Ultimately, adjective in the first position - before the noun are called attributive adjectives. Those in the second position after the noun are called predicative adjectives.

The correct answer is 'False'.


    Adjectives and adjective phrases function in two basic ways, attributively or predicatively. An attributive adjective (phrase) precedes the noun of a noun phrase (e.g. a very happy man). A predicative adjective (phrase) follows a linking verb and serves to describe the preceding subject, e.g. The man is very happy.
