What is a proper adjective?
Proper adjectives come from proper nouns. Proper adjectives are very specific and, furthermore, used within the outline of a noun. This is often a daily adjective.
Proper adjectives are words or sets of words that modify or describe a noun or pronoun. After modification, adjectives can come before or after.
Proper adjectives are made from proper nouns and modify nouns and pronouns. A proper noun is a particular name used for any person, place, or thing; it typically resembles their original proper nouns but has some sort of alternative end.
examples:
a). He lives in the USA (proper noun)
b) He likes the US holidays. (Proper adjective)
These adjectives start with capitalization.
a). When she lived in China, Liz ate a lot of Chinese food.
If proper adjectives have a prefix, the prefix itself is never capitalized.
However, the proper adjective itself is still capitalized.
a) In pre-Columbian America, corn was the Only cultivated cereal.
