Definition of Adjectives Out of Order Step 1 Definition of Adjectives Out of Order Adjectives: Words that describe nouns OK use of adjectives: The tall, white, muscular, fearless horse galloped across the dusty field. Listing adjectives Tends to drag Readers get confused BETTER use of adjectives (BRUSHSTROKE #4): The white horse, muscular and fearless, galloped across the dusty field. One adjective goes before the noun (white) Two more adjectives go AFTER the noun (muscular and fearless) These adjectives get more emphasis Use commas before and after the pair ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann Brush Strokes

The white horse, muscular and fearless, galloped across the dusty field. Placing two of the adjectives after the noun horse creates a spotlight, giving the adjectives a more profound quality. ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition.

Here are a few more examples to review before you create your own. The Pavilion was a simple city, long and rectangular. —Caleb Carr, in The Alienist I could smell Mama, crisp and starched, plumping my pillow. —Robert Newton Peck, in A Day No Pigs Would Die The woman, old and wrinkled, smiled upon her newborn great­grandson with pride. —Student Stephanie Schwallie The boxer, twisted and tormented, felt no compassion for his contender. —Student Chris Hloros ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition.

Step 2 Create a short, simple sentence about the image you want to describe. For the image on the right you might write a sentence like this: The gorilla stared scornfully at the zookeeper. ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann Brush Strokes

Step 3 Imagine you are a photographer viewing the image through a camera zoom lens. List five adjectives that describe the gorilla. Use this format: The , , , gorilla stared scornfully at the zookeeper. ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann Brush Strokes

Here is how they appear when added to the sentence: Here are some adjectives that could be used to fill the blanks: angry, irritated, infuriate, enraged, fuming. Here is how they appear when added to the sentence: The angry, irritated, infuriated, enraged, and fuming gorilla stared scornfully at the zookeeper. ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann Brush Strokes

Step 4 Select three adjectives from your list of five. Then place once of them before the word gorilla and two of them after it. The result will be much more powerful. The angry gorilla, irritated and fuming, stared scornfully at the zookeeper. Authors often shift only two adjectives as in a sentence such as the following: The gorilla, infuriated and volatile, stared scornfully at the zookeeper. ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann Brush Strokes

Using the four steps we have just demonstrated, create a one-sentence description that includes adjectives out of order. Select from the following images. ©2011 by Harry Noden from Image Grammar: Teaching Grammar as Part of the Writing Process, Second Edition. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann Brush Strokes
