形容词能够使表达的意思更具体更生动，经常和名词搭配使用。下面给大家列举几个例子。

e.g.

The issue of children doing paid work is a complex and sensitive one.

(This complex and sensitive question arouses the great attention among government and the general public all around the world.)

In better economic circumstances, few parents would choose to send their children out to full-time paid work.

(In better circumstances, authorities would greatly have the right to invest a large proportion of the government’s budget in constructing fascinating and fantastic theatres and sports stadiums.)

It seems that the experiences we have in life are so unpredictable and so powerful that they can boost or over-ride other influences, and there seems to be plenty of research findings to confirm this.

The reason for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world。
