Adjectives are words that describe things, and mastering them can really level up your writing skills.<\/p>\n
However, it’s important to know when and how to use adjectives. Don’t believe me? Consider the choice between freer vs more free<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Today we’ll take a look at one adjective in particular: the word “frail.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The word “frail” is an adjective. To use it in a sentence, either place it before the noun it modifies or use a being verb (is, are, was, or were) to place it after the noun. If you’re including other adjectives, “frail” should go in the proper order and may need to be followed by a comma.<\/strong><\/p>\n Before you can use a word in a sentence, it’s important to understand what it means.<\/p>\n The word “frail” is an adjective, or descriptive word, which means that something or someone is both delicate and weak.<\/p>\n In most, if not all<\/strong>,<\/a> cases, “frail” is used to describe people or other living things.<\/p>\n If you are trying to describe an inanimate object that breaks easily, try the word “fragile” instead.<\/p>\n Fortunately, no matter which adjective you use, the rules are the same!<\/p>\n There are actually two ways to use adjectives like “frail” in English.<\/p>\n We’ll go over both in more detail below, but the short version is that you can either put the adjective in front of the noun it describes, or you can use a being verb (is, are, was, or were) to connect the adjective after the noun.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The simplest way to use “frail in a sentence” is to simply place it in front of the noun you wish to modify.<\/p>\n That’s all you need to do.<\/p>\n Note that if you want to use multiple adjectives, you may need to use a comma to separate them. Also, adjectives have a specific order in English.<\/p>\n We’ll talk more about these later, though. For now, just focus on putting “frail” in front of the noun you want to use.<\/p>\n The word “frail” goes immediately before the noun, but needs to come before the word “old,” as we’ll explain later.<\/p>\n The second way to use “frail” in a sentence is to place it after the noun it describes.<\/p>\nHow do you use “frail” in a sentence?<\/h2>\n
