        多个形容词修饰同一名词的顺序
        有几个形容词修饰同一名词时,词序无固定规律,一般的顺序为:1)限定词(冠词/代词/数词)→2)性质→3)大小/形状/新旧/年龄/颜色→4)名词性定语(包括动名词)→5)名词。
        【例如】
        China is a great, modernized socialist country.
        Nancy is reading an old, exciting, romantic love story. 
        Mary has just bought herself a pretty green cotton dress.
        My sister knew a tall intelligent young American professor whom she met in college. 
        
        形容词+不定式/that从句
        1)有些形容词(包括已变为形容词的分词)可以接不定式。
        【例如】
        I am eager to see him and tell him the truth. I am sure to pass the exam because I have made very good preparation.
         这样用的形容词多是表示感情的。如:content(满意的),afraid(害怕的),anxious(渴望的),lucky(幸运的), careful(小心的),inclined(有意的),willing(情愿的),sorry(难过的),eager(热切的),sure(肯定的), determined(有决心的),foolish(愚蠢的),anxious(焦急的)等。这种句型有时为了突出形容词,还可以改为以it作形式主语的句子。
        【例如】
         It was wise of you to accept his advice. It was stupid of her to make such a mistake. It was unwise of me to have believed him.
        2)在有些形容词后面可以跟一个that引导的从句。能这样使用的形容词如: certain(确定的),aware (知道的), sure (肯定的),confident (确信的),sorry (遗憾的),conscious (察觉的),afraid (担心的), delighted (愉快的),surprised (惊奇的),disappointed (失望的)等。
        【例如】
         I am aware that I must begin now if I want to pass the test.They were disappointed that you didn’t show up at yesterday’s party. I am sorry that the Chinese soccer team was defeated again. 
        
        作表语的形容词
        1)很多以a开头的形容词,如asleep, afraid, awake, alone, aware, alive, ablaze, alike等,一般只作表语。
        【例如】
         He was so tired that he soon fell asleep. Whether he was alive or dead in the earthquake is still unknown.2) 这类形容词有时可以放在名词后作后置定语。
        【例如】
         He is one of the persons alive after the flood. The old man was the only person awake at the moment. 3) 这类形容词中有些像alike(相同),alone(单独),amiss(差别),afire(燃烧着),adrift(漂流),afloat(漂浮), afoot(徒步)等既是表语形容词,又是副词,它们的用法不同。
        【例如】 The twins look so much alike that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. My brother and I alike are funs of pop music. 
        4)一些表示身体健康情况的形容词,如ill, well, unwell, fit, poorly等,一般作表语。
        【例如】
        I don’t feel well. I need to go to see the doctor. How to keep fit is a popular topic these days
