Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, the _then_ and _still_ owners. --TROLLOPE. The _seldom_ use of it.--TRENCH. For thy stomach's sake, and thine _often_ infirmities.--_Bible._ HOW TO PARSE ADJECTIVES. [Sidenote: _What to tell in parsing._] 170. Since adjectives have no gender, person, or case, and very few have number, the method of parsing is simple. In parsing an adjective, tell-- (1) The class and subclass to which it belongs. (2) Its number, if it has number. (3) Its degree of comparison, if it can be compared. (4) What word or words it modifies. MODEL FOR PARSING. |
