"All-in-One" refers to the comprehensive coverage of all aspects of English learning in this series—verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, phrases, sentence patterns, homophones/homonyms, analysis of typical errors, and basic grammar. "365" refers to the series adopting the format of "learn a little every day," allowing readers to make full use of fragmented time, gradually accumulate English knowledge, and step by step improve their ability and proficiency in using English. This book is part of the "EasySpeed All-in-One English Series," titled "Adjectives 365."
In the book market, there are countless English books, but those specifically about adjectives are extremely rare. Is it because adjectives are simple and have nothing to learn? The answer is no. Some adjectives are used only as attributives, while others are used only as predicatives. Some can follow infinitives, while others can follow prepositional phrases. Some take only "of," while others take only "for." Some take that clauses, while others take interrogative clauses. Some can be modified by words like "very," while others cannot. Some have two comparative forms, while others do not. These numerous issues are frequently encountered in learning, often causing difficulties in tests, and when speaking or writing, people struggle to make their language rich and varied but fail to grasp the key points. Moreover, general dictionaries provide little detail on these topics, so this book was created to fill the gap.
This book selects 365 commonly used adjectives and divides them into sections such as "Explanations," "Word Collocations," "Sentence Patterns and Examples," "Homophones/Homonyms," "Error Analysis," and "Common Idioms," providing detailed explanations for each. With one word per page, authentic English, rich content, and an engaging layout, readers can effortlessly conquer the fortress of English adjectives in the leisure of daily learning—how delightful!
