Morphological features
. Derivationally, adjectives are related either to 
nouns or verbs. Suffixes changing nouns to adjectives are
: - (i)al, -ar, -ary or –ery, 
-ed, -en, -esque, -ful, -ic(al), -ish, -istic, -less, -like, -ly, -ous, -ward, -wide, -y

Suffixes changing verbs to adjectives are: 
-able 
or
 –ible,  -ent 
or
 –ant, -ed, -ing, -
ive, -(at)ory

Syntactic features
. In the sentence, the adjective performs the functions of 
an attribute (an adjunct) and a predicative. Of the two, the more typical function is 
that of an attribute since the function of a predicative can also be performed by 
other parts of speech.

Adjectives can sometimes be postpositive, that is, they can sometimes 
follow the item they modify.  
Adjectives can often function as heads of noun phrases. As such, they do not 
inflect for number and for the genitive case and must take a definite determiner. 
An adjective can function as a verbless clause (eg
. Anxious, he dialed the 
number
).
