Pozice přídavných jmen (cvičení)

Většinu přídavných jmen lze použít ve dvou různých pozicích:

• před podstatným jménem – the black cat
• za sponovým slovesem (např. být) – the cat is black

Existují ale přídavná jména, která se objevují pouze v jedné z těchto pozic.

V následujícím cvičení vyberte možnost a) nebo b), pokud lze dané přídavné jméno použít pouze v jedné pozici, nebo možnost c), pokud jsou přijatelné obě varianty.

Doporučujeme si ale nejprve prostudovat článek Pozice přídavných jmen.
