Adjective patterns

For the test, it's important to know where to place the adjective, you don't need to know the labels you see on SB p. 16.

Mark where the 2 adjectives in brackets should be inserted in each sentence

• Last night, in a case of bystander apathy, a woman was stabbed in a crowded supermarket, but nobody did anything to stop the attack. (present/ classic).
• in a classic case / but nobody present
  

Adjective patterns

• Police officers working on the case fear for the well-being of the woman and are seeking the young man for the attack. (responsible/ concerned)
  
• Concerned police officers / the young man responsible
• A police spokesperson said that a number of people witnessed the event, but did nothing to help. (distressing/ significant)
• a significant number / the distressing event

Adjective patterns

• 'It is one of the worst crimes,' she said. 'Society would be in trouble if we all behaved like this.' (imaginable/ deep)
  
• the worst imaginable crimes / be in deep trouble
  
• 'They acted as if it was nothing,' she continued. 'This is not a way to behave.' (special/ proper)
