Anonymous  +  273410 Thu, 28 Sep 06 09:54 AM Hello, I am marking a grammer test and I am just a bit unsure about identifying the adjectives in each of these sentences: 1. Getting the children out of the house safely was the foremost thought in my head. (1 adjective) 2. The hail came down so hard that it crushed all the flowers I had planted. (3 adjectives) 3. John showed up at the party late. (1 adjective) 4. Our neighbours got into a dispute about where their properties are divided. (1 adjective) I would really appreciate if someone could help me out, thank you. Anonymous

Do you mean you have to find those numbers of adjectives in each sentences, or that you have found those numbers of adjectives? pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!
