please tell me anything u know about these or helpful hints!
thanks!!!

Thank-you for all the help, but would some of those answers be proper nouns? I'm looking for proper adjectives

Answer 1

1. World War
2. German
3. Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism
4. Hershey's, Doritos
5. Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew

Answer 2

At first, I tried to find every adjective in the sentence, which just confused me. But if you want proper adjectives (I'm not sure about any of these except for the last two)...
1. Two (or II). Germans is a noun (a group of people), France is a noun (a country), World War is a proper noun. (I'm really doubtful about this one.)
2. Since you're not saying shepherd dog, "German Shepherd" is a proper noun.
3. Neither great or different is proper; Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism are all proper nouns in the case.
4. Hershey's, Dorito's.
5. Mountain Dew.

Answer 3

1. World describes War -
Germans is the noun
invaded is the verb
France is the direct object
"in World War II" is a prepositional phrase
2. German
My is an adjective
German is a proper adjective
Sheperd is the noun - doesn't like is the verb
cats is the direct object
3. none
We is the subject
had is the verb
discussion is a noun
great is an adjective describing discussion
about the different beliefs is a prepositional phrase
in Islam,Hinduism........ is a prepositional phrase
4. Hershey's, Dorito's
I is the subject (noun)
bought is the verb
Hershey's is the proper adjective describing bar
candy is an adjective also describing bar
bag is a noun
of Doritos chips is a prepositional phrase
5. Mountain Dew
ads is the subject (noun)
for Dr. Pepper is a prepositional phrase
are is the verb
different is the predicate adjective
from Mountain Dew ads is a prepositional phrase


Proper adjectives are capitalized and many times end in " 's ". They come right before a noun. They describe the noun that comes after them.

Hope this helped!

Answer 4

1. None. Germans and France are both; nouns, invaded is the verb, in is a prepostion, and World War II is a proper noun, just like if i said John Jones, john is not an adjective, it is a complex proper noun.l

2. None. German Shephers is like WWII in the first one.

3. None, Islam, Hinduism, .....are all nouns, the objects of the preposition 'in'

4. Hershey's and Doritos are both Proper adjectives since they describe the nouns bar and chips, respectively.

5. Mountain Dew is a proper adjective describing 'ads', Dr. Pepper is a noun here, the object of the preposition 'for'

so:

1. none
2. none
3. none
4. Hershey's, Doritos
5. Mountain Dew

5.

Answer 5

1.Germans invaded France in World War II.
"World"- adjective modifies "War"

2.My German Shepherd doesn't like cats.
"German"- modifies "Shepherd"

3.We had a great discussion about the different beliefs in Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism.
There are only proper nouns in this sentence.

4.I bought a Hershey's candy bar and a bag of Doritos chips.
"Hershey's" modifies "candy bar" (debatable) and "Doritos" modifies "chips".

5.The ads for Dr. Pepper are different from Mountain Dew ads.
"Mountain Dew" modifies ads.

You weren't identifying adjectives... you should brush up on them. The only difference between proper and common adjectives is capitalization. ("Proper" words have special meaning, and are thus capitalized.)
Simply:
Proper = capitalized, common = not capitalized.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Adjectives are parts of speach that modify nouns. Thus, the BLUE ball, the HAPPY giant, the OLD oak.

"Proper" adjectives are adjectives that are or were proper names that are functioning as adjectives, that is, describing another person, place or thing. So, in most cases, "proper" adjectives will be capitalized. (There's a hint.) But they're not freestanding nouns.
Let's look at No. 4. I (noun) bought (verb -- action word, what you did) a (article) Hershey's candy bar (noun??) and (conjunction) a (article) bag (noun) of (preposition) Doritos chips (noun??)

we have this thing here -- it's a candy bar. But what kind of candy bar? If it was a "sweet candy bar" or an "old candy bar" you can see the adjective -- it's the descriptive word that modifies "candy bar." In this case, it's a Hershey's candy bar. "Hershey's" is a proper name (the brand of a candy bar) and it's modifying the noun "candy bar". It tells you what kind of candy bar it is. So that's your "Proper Adjective" ("Doritos" is the same.)
Try again with the rest of these sentences. I only see "proper adjectives" in 4 of the 5. Good luck.

Answer 7

Proper adjectives are usually upper case

1. German
2. German
3. Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism
4. Doritos
5. Dr. pepper, Mountain Dew

Answer 8

"American from America" is an example. America is the noun and American is the Prop. Adj. So:
1. German (Germany is the noun)
2. German (Germany is the noun)
3. Christianity (Christian is the noun)
4. Hershey's (Hershey is the noun)
5. Mountain Dew (TRICKY! ads is the noun, specifically MD ads)

That's what I think.

Answer 9

Invade is a verb, there is no adjective there, an adjective is descriptive.
So: the TERRIFYING Germans invaded the UNPREPARED French...Terrifying and unprepared describe something so they are adjectives

my ENORMOUS German shepherd doesn't like cats
Enormous is a descriptive word, so it is an adjective



Number 3 is correct when you said that you had a GREAT discussion,

Answer 10

sheesh don't they teach parts of the sentance anymore? Happily is an adverb not an adjective. Six is the adjective because it describes how many pups.
