things, events, people’s character or physical
features.

7. Adjectives can both function as attributive
and predicative, but some of them function
only as attributive/predicative. In other
words, some adjectives are restricted to be
either of the two. Usually, restrictions of the
attributive function apply to senses; that is,
to be-verbs used as linking verbs.
The following are adjectives restricted to
a specific function:

8. Attributive-only adjectives

9. Never-Attributive adjectives

size – shape - color – noun adj. and participle

• The Wind and the Sun
• The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the
stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the
road, and the Sun said: "I see a way to decide our dispute.
Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off his
cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin." So the
Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as
hard as it could upon the traveller. But the harder he blew
the more closely did the traveller wrap his cloak round him,
till at last the Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun
came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveller, who
soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on. Kindness
effects more than severity.
